Don't know which #Minneapolis protestors need this but:

+ Don't use milk for teargas. You'll mess up your eyes. Flush with water. Yeah it burns, keep rinsing.

+ Cover gas canisters with a traffic cone and douse it with water through the hole on top.

#JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
+ Wear a MASK. We're still mid-pandemic, it keeps at least some gas / pepper from your face, and keeps your face off film.

+ Do NOT get ahead of the crowd / loose your group / wander by yourself. When shit happens it happens FAST.
+ If you see someone breaking / vandalizing stuff - get away asap. The police will be on their way to beat someones ass, you don't need it to be yours.

+ Some of you will try to stop destruction; be careful. In high emotion situations like this that can put you in danger.
+ Be aware of your surroundings at ALL times. People have gotten killed by 'non-lethal' rubber bullets / beanbags they never saw coming. Constantly know what's going on.

+ Do not hang out in constricted areas like alleys or entryways. Worst place to be if a crowd panics.
Lastly, but most importantly remember that at the end of the day we ALL got families to go home to.

Be angry, make them hear you, but don't let your actions be the ones that get people killed.

Act smart, watch out for each other, and please remember humanity when you march.
