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.
