    I think the road might be a better option than those last two. They’re private property, which gives cops an excuse to beat up protesters for trespassing and refusing to comply.

      The only valid metric to measure against is their stated intent. Harassing the general public is only a “better option” if their intention is to stiffen the laws against jaywalking, as that is the only effect they have managed to achieve.

        They could always protest on the sidewalk. My point was to say that any protest on private property would be short-lived and more akin to a public beating than an actual protest.
