I'm pretty sure they didn't bring everyone in the community together into the town hall and politely discuss the merits of, say, affirmative action within the state police units.
Both the civil rights movement and the anti-war protests needed time to mature and have a somewhat clear message (though their were factions within both movements that disagreed with certain demands). They are not going to be organized with a clear concise message in less than a week. Other than "we are so far passed pissed off we need to do SOMETHING RIGHT NOW".
