You show up to a protest because you care. You’re holding a sign, chanting, and moving with the crowd. Then the mood shifts. People start pushing. A police line tightens. A driver edges into an intersection and someone bangs on the hood. In minutes, a normal day can feel like a boiling pot. This isn’t…
