In the days of civil rights demonstrations in the United States in the 1960's a "sit in" was used to draw attention to an issue regarding civil rights. As many of these demonstrations involved blocking public sidewalks or demonstrating on private property, the demonstrators would simply sit down and await the police to arrive. The police would have to struggle with demonstrators in a limp sitting position to load them onto police wagons. As an aside, by sitting instead of marching or standing, the demonstrators could make their point in a more relaxed position.
