   Yes, it's important for people to show up. Yes, the crowds were impressive in that we see, yes, everyone's angry right this minute. But after ~15 years of seeing protests over racial injustices stretch on for days/weeks/months and get escalated to violence by cops, it's not enough for white people to gather around the town square for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon.

     When today's protest extends into tomorrow and the crowds maintain through the week and beyond, and the cops show up in their riot gear against the aged Boomers in their Tilley hats and puffer vests, then we'll see if this has potential as a movement for change. Looks like it was a nice day out for the brunch-havers who are mad because brunch is cancelled while there aren't enough eggs for the bennies.
