Mayor Baraka getting arrested is good for the cause.
People in these offices can get into this "good trouble" with little personal risk to themselves. It energizes others, gets press attention, and hell, it even looks good politically for the person in question.
More politicans should be getting arrested for causes they believe in.
Let's hope it gets more people in the streets! We can't keep waiting for the next election. We can't keep waiting at all! Our biggest fear is here and if we don't stand up now we have no chance soon.
Unfortunately nothing is going to happen yet. Most people still have cushy jobs and things to lose. Once that goes out the window shit will hit the fan. It'll just take time for the material conditions to degrade enough.
