Meh. This was the local police. They wanted the group off the road, and the group wouldn’t move. I don’t really have a problem with this. These protests that block traffic and stuff hurt the wrong people. The guy or girl driving wherever shouldn’t be the target. Try disrupting actual commerce or production if you want to get the attention of the people in power.
And the boss will take it out of average Joe’s payif he is hourly. If he is salary he will have to make up the lost time. The company will feel no pain at all.
It appeared to me that she was on the sidewalk?? How you gonna say she was blocking the road when she’s on the sidewalk? Isn’t that where people are supposed to be?
What it said was that she was leading the protest, and both her and others had refused to leave the road when ordered. Likely this was by one or two cops. When they had to call more out, they arrested the people who had refused the order. At that point she was on the sidewalk, but they knew who she was.

A protest with no inconvenience is a parade, not a protest.
Yes, but who you inconvenience matters. Do it to the right people.
Economies utilize roads. Average Joe driving to work is engaging in commerce and/or production.
