What was particularly striking about the traffic stoppage on 6th and Washington was the level of support it garnered from the very cars it was blocking. Drivers stuck fists out of their windows in support to exultant whoops from the crowd, and one city worker even briefly rushed from his vehicle to take a knee with protestors.
