Still not with you. It brings it to the public eye, but not with sympathy for the idea. To the extent that it provokes police to overreact, maybe

that gets some traction. But the idea that you're going to essentially tear down society is just not a winning argument. You want to raise up the oppressed to an equal footing, not tear down the ruling class to get to equanimity at the bottom. You're not going to scare people into equality. You'll scare them, and their money and ability to invest, away. You don't want to turn Chicago into Detroit from 10-20 years ago. Again, I get the anger, it's just not going to make things better. The movement is growing and making strides with the peaceful protests. These things distract and reinforce the opposition.
