Not equating this guy with them beyond the legal but different behavior.

No, not like back during the civil rights demonstrations. The intent of those demonstrations was to gain attention to and change the laws that set apart an entire group of people just because they didn't have light skin.
Mr. Embody's actions were designed solely to...well, I honestly am not sure what he was trying to do, other than to actively solicit a confrontation with the police to satisfy his ego.
Mr. Embody carried a "handgun" because the law said that he could. The protesters of the '60s intentionally violated laws that they knew to be wrong. Not even comparable.
He's what we colloquially call, in these parts, a "dumbass".
