I feel like the most effective form of protest will make life miserable for the people causing the problems, rather than making life miserable for the people affected by the problem.
I'm not really thinking about the protests in France, though. I'm thinking about all the times in my area when highways have been shut down by people wanting police reform, and it feels like nothing has changed. Granted, when this was happening on a nationwide basis, we got body cams for most police departments, and that's created a lot of accountability.
