          Ok, what is the number of organizers that can be killed that will or won't affect future protests? I suppose you know that 6 isn't enough, if 10 had been killed is that enough to be relevant? Maybe it's 15?

            Whatever the number so that people even are aware about it. The protests dropped in multiple cities for a wide variety of reasons and i havent heard a single person quote ferguson activists as the reason. Where im from they ended due to strict crackdown and public opinion massively swayed by multiple shootings that happened where shit was centralized at. And that was for the hardcore people. Popular local support (like the actual mobilized people who are not as massively into politics as actual communists/anarchists, the locals who dont normally get involved) dwindled quite quickly after it was apparent that the police were willing to clash and not budge at all. That and i dont assume theybare going to show up day after day after day.

            We had our organizers and we didnt have the people, because quite frankly, it isnt the most populat stance to have in america.
