    Depends how you measure success. Did it lead to any change? Not really (as far as i know, anyway). Although there was an instance where a suspected looter was forced down in the same position that killed George Floyd, but the police let the guy go after people noticed, including other police, and started objecting.

    And it did raise awareness to the issue at hand. I for one, living halfway around the world, was not aware of how bad it was.

      I’d argue that although it didn’t directly lead to change, it most definitely will eventually
