They're worse than useless for pressuring; as in this day and age, they've started locking up protestors against unpopular policy, and a solid half of them have gotten federal RICO charges applied to whatever else the prosecutor's office wants to nail them with. (I'll let you guess which half did.) (Like for real the more I think about it, I don't think a single Jan. 6th Rioter caught RICO charges; but the Cop City protestors did? Cracker shit.)
