Fancy protesting against the police killing of a man in New York?
Where would you stage your protest? Times Square? If you can't get to New York maybe it might make sense to protest outside the U.S. embassy.
Or maybe, just maybe, The Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds Bush ...

Nowt wrong with international protests, helped end apartheid.
Sometimes a bit of international opinion can hold a mirror up to the target.
However there's no need to give security shit or damage peoples property if they're not the targets of your protest.

The anti apartheid protests always focused on the highly visible Trafalgar Square, the site of the South African embassy,
Not inside a warm, sheltered, out of sight Australian owned mall, nearly in the suburbs, where the disruption will have been a real headache for the retail workers and mall staff who scrape by on minimum wage.

Maybe the the American embassy is a little twitchy at the mo and not all the people playing dead may get up again.
Also it's parky out.
See that Tab Hunter? That's you that is.
