I don't think so. Each of these outrages builds a bit of pressure, and changes the worldview of those that it touches. Some can be pushed a long way from where they'd rather be before speaking up personally, but even there, their sympathies might evolve. Just as important as those that take it to the streets, are those that look on and think: "More power to them". When significantly challenged, the powers that be need to make their case to the public at large. If the public has the general sense that the powers that be have been doing wrong, they are going to be less sympathetic.
