Well, shutting down highways and roads is dangerous and puts people at risk of harm. Other than that….

😑 and how does it do that? How are you at risk because you can’t go down the street you wanted to?

Because streets are used for emergency services.
Also, EVERYONE uses roads. So, just as you might be inconveniencing white motorists on a Sunday drive you’re also putting the wellbeing of everyone at risk. People have doctor appointments, obligations, kids need to get to school. The only people you’re REALLY hurting when you disrupt vital services are the poor and disabled.

I’m poor and disabled, i have no time to be a shield here.

Protestors rarely ever cause blockage to emergency vehicles and telling people to protest in a way that doesn’t inconvenience anyone is ridiculous.

Staying quietly out of the way is not how change gets accomplished. People protest BECAUSE people are dying but I guess those people don’t fucking matter?
