shutting down traffic will effect police shootings?

the point is to just raise awareness, to show that you won't stand for something any longer.
the word "protest" simply means to object against something. these vague "there are people protesting" isn't enough. nobody would ever say that black folks don't protest against WHITE injustice, you'd be crazy to, those protests make the cover of TIME magazine...
at the end of the day, we're not doing enough to protest the terrorism we inflict on ourselves...having intellectual debates don't count either
again, a little church here, a little pocket of people there, there are little handfuls of individuals and groups doing and saying things - but it's not enough.
the numbers of black folks dead in chicago alone should warrant this right here...no!?!
