NYC is not where the protests were - not for this one at least. It was in Albany, about 3 hours from NYC by car, bus, or train. On a random Tuesday with short notice most aren’t going to be able to go.
There are other protests that have happened in NYC, just like with LA. That said - yes, youre going to have trouble getting people out in general despite public support. You’ve got people with families who need someone to watch their kids. You have people who literally can’t afford to miss a day of work. You have people who will get fired for taking a day off unexpectedly.
You’ve got all kinds of protections in the EU that dont exist in the US, and many places intentionally so to prevent exactly this.
The two situations aren’t comparable, as I’ve said.
