The problem is that decades of peaceful protesting went ignored. Remmeber how kneeling during the national anthem against police brutality got mocked?

The police and police wives in my family were the loudest mockers of the kneeling protests, which were perfectly quiet and peaceful.

  "Blacks commit crimes at higher rates than others."
  "It's not a police problem, it's a crime problem."
  "I don't want to hear this crap when I get home from work."

The inaction of police to reform themselves and elected officials to reform the laws that govern them is incentive to make it much easier for domestic terrorism to thrive.

Getting mocked was its method of operation. Politicizing a sporting event is controversial and controversy brings media coverage. The fact that it got a lot of media coverage meant that it was doing something.
