I’ve always assumed they were profiling protesters. I go to to protests head-to-toe in full costume because of it.

They can try to profile me, but they’re just going to get a costume that millions of people own.

Also going to protests is kind of silly because they don’t do anything. No use getting on some government hit list for holding some sign making fun of Trump or ice.

Protests don’t do anything… which is also why they are completely forbidden in Russia and you’ll get arrested for one person protests with blank signs. Coming soon to the US as well.

Generally, that’s true.

But there’s one example where protests have made a ton of change recently: Flock has lost 400 contracts since June. But that’s because the protests have morphed into people actually going to city council meetings.
