Usually the idea would be to keep pushing harder and harder in a non violent way until they just start killing protesters. Then you have martyrdom and that will mobilize the masses. Sadly i dont think that will actually work in the US, because people have already died and nothing has meaningfully changed. There will probably be some targeted terrorist attacks by people that are sufficiently pissed of at trump, but nothing big enough to actually be a threat to the trump administration.

It’ll happen.

George Floyd wasn’t the first black guy killed by cops either but the circumstances were right at that time.
