Reliable estimates of protesters just in L.A. were at over 1 million. There were also huge protests in Phoenix, Detroit, Atlanta, New York and D.C., among other locations.
The protests are not resulting in a backlash, but are resulting in exactly what they are designed to ... influencing the legislators in a direction clearly desired by the populace (whether or not that populace consists of likely voters).
And contrary to any societal backlash, the American public is not yet so cruel that it will condone criminalizing aid by priests, nuns, doctors and social workers to society's most underprivileged class.
