It was very ineffective, but i also believe this was partly because this was where they (the government and the rich) perfected efforts to undermine protests.

Specifically targeting anyone that even appears to be emerging as a leader, infiltrating movements in order to sow chaos by conflicting goals and messaging, heavily leaning on the media, false flag elements, etc.

Not that these tactics were new, but I don’t know if we’ll ever have another MLK. They’ll never allow anyone to become that kind of leader again.
