I agree with you but these are just staffers, not actual people in congress. They're glorified interns for actual congress persons. They don't have any power themselves.

When i read "lawmakers" were out there, i took it as a mixed heiarchy out there

And i aint gon act like i know what a "lawmaker" position entails, but still

 
I like it. Gestures may not be much but the sentiment is meaningful.

It's been good seeing all these protests by athletes and others.
 
Another empty ass protest. Now if they would have delayed the opening of

that would have gotten a somebody's attention, while proving they're serious and chance needs to be enacted, immediately. Nothing will changed until commerce is disrupted on a major level.

if they REALLY wanted to get a muthafucka's attention then the staffers would have blocked entry to these buildings.

What exactly would protesting at any of these bureaus establish? You should know that #DCFerguson has been protesting at DoJ - the bureau that actually has some jurisdiction and power to fix some of these problem administratively - every single day for the last several weeks.

You're saying these are pointless protests, and I'm inclined to agree that we need to make the next step by detailing policy solutions for our grievances, but the argument that these are pointless is silly. Lawmakers, policymakers, and the media elite are paying attention to a problem that has largely gone ignored save for few exceptions for decades.

If these are pointless, what is your remedy?
