It’s almost as if this is a fictional universe.

Seriously my first thought was "wait a minute, that's not what Cumby's would have looked like in 2003..." Glad I'm not the only one.

Still 99c. Would be hilarious to see a clicker doing Keno or Scratch offs

Howabout that bigass mountain range when it said “10 miles west of Boston”

2003 is a long time ago for me to remember specifically what cumbies looked like then. I still see a few that look like the bottom picture and if my memory serves me correct I saw the white ones popping up around turn of century when I was graduating high school...

This is so much more important than anything I’ve got going on today. I say we riot until they fix it.

Top is what is portrayed in the show for 2003 (the year the outbreak happened) outside of Boston. But Cumberland Farms looked like the bottom photo in 2003.

Civil rights marches happened in every state. Eventually the blanket of pressure changed things in the deep south.
>And policies are far better now
But demonstrably not where they need to be.

And I'm sure there's hard data that shows your assertion is valid, and that it's not just a general feeling you have that it's true?
Incidentally, as a general truth, major changes in institutional policy regarding race (or bigotry issues in general) have only come with disruption. The civil rights era of MLK was not just a bunch of people protesting quietly on a sidewalk, the abolition of slavery came with a war. So the idea that you seem to be presenting is based on some incorrect pretenses regarding being nondisruptive.
But in any case, my point wasn't "We should be actively seeking to disrupt traffic", but "Disruption to a commute due to a protest of yet another homicidal attack from police is absolutely acceptable, and trying to frame things as 'Don't do anything disruptive as a show of honor to this young man' is disgusting and self serving."

>A little traffic disruption for an evening
...is going to turn commuters against your cause. How does that help ensure justice?

Okay, but a protest doesn't really garner any more attention than a post on Facebook or something. What's the overall strategy?

And policies are far better now than they were when most of those convictions happened.

And following the policy has changed nothing, which means wider change is needed.

Protests sparked the Civil Rights Act.
Protests ended the misadventure in Vietnam.
Protests resulted in anti-discrimination laws.
Legit results.
Doesn't seem meaningless to me.
