        A protest has demands, the type of actions they want to see as a result of protesting. There needs to be the threat of consequences. There needs to be a disruption of the status quo and an inconvenience to society that can’t be ignored. And by no means can the cops be on your side

          I don’t see how that doesn’t include No King’s. Unless you have some more definitions for threats of consequences. Because a bunch of people showing up somewhere is, by its nature, both disruptive and consequential, and it does have a list of demands. Plus, I don’t really think the cops being on your side or not is necessary for a protest, since the police can also protest, even if it’s for a cause you don’t agree with.
