Crowds at BLM protests, generally speaking, look out for each other. Hand out water to each other, remind each other to brings masks and snacks, are trained to de-escalate agitators, and keep an eye out for medically vulnerable members.
Such a marked contrast to a group who literally trample each other.
I see a culture of dominance vs a culture of mutual care not only in goals and grievances, but in how the crowds behaved.
