We’re talking about protesting messages, put the goalposts back please.

“black lives matter” is a message, wtf are you talking about then?

If your protest is blocking traffic, you’re an asshole. It’s not about WHAT you’re protesting. If cops are protesting and blocking traffic, they’re also assholes also.

There isn’t an effective form of protest that doesn’t involve inconveniencing people.
