Where did the meme come from that civil disobedience requires you to sit in jail afterwards?

191. But here's what I find really puzzling: People cite MLK as an example of a perpetrator

of acts of civil disobedience, and that his civil disobedience could only be validated and defined as civil disobedience because he went to jail for his acts of civil disobedience.

So, like, this argument purports that everyone else who participated in the Civil Rights movement, who made an active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands, and commands of the government, in order to help gain recognition and enforcement of the legal human rights of black people, did not engage in an act of civil disobedience, solely because they did not go to jail for their actions.

What is wrong with this picture?

There does not seem to be any logical or factual premise for this argument, so where did it originally come from? Maybe from the source you cited, or something similar:
