    Nah thats kinda my point actually. It was a two hour photo-op, after which everyone dispersed to go shopping. No real demands, no shutting down of anything, state sanctioned, and directed by the police. That’s not a protest, it’s a parade. Offers no real contention, and no real threat to the powers that be. Often just serves to placate people into thinking they’ve “done their part” and go back to their normal lives as everything gets worse, and curbs people from real organizing.
