I don't get how the protesters can't see how blocking traffic is counter productive. I think it makes more people hate them than it does help their cause.
 
Sadly, in jurisdictions with leftwing prosecutors, I fear that even in the case of "Only if they try to pull me out of the car. Then I have no choice." that you will still find yourself in an orange jumpsuit and staring at the wall of a prison cell.
 
No option to just arrest them?

arrest them and if they get pissy about it start tasing them.

If I was on a jury I wouldnt convict anybody for running over a protester.
 
This.

I’m an American. I will always support the right to protest. Our nation is screwed without it.

Perhaps all of the rhetoric around how to protest is a bit of a manipulation towards being docile. I don't believe the French have used polite protests. The Boston Tea Party probably wasn't a polite protest.
