In hk protests different protestors have different aims and different jobs so make sure u know what r u aiming for and protect the ppl around u as well!!
And most importantly wear black!!!! Wear black clothes with no logos and if possible wear a black mask!! If ur wearing something tht is colourful and has a logo on it the police would recognise u and the possibility of finding u and arresting u would be higher.
From experience hk police also dressed up as protestors and performed police brutality easier so make sure u look around and see if there is anyone acting suspicious!!
On the side note i would recommend not to catch these people from the crowd as if u were wrong it would cause +

+ unnecessary chaos and people won’t trust one another again...
Hk protestors have also used a way of “tucking ur shirts in” as to prevent police dressing up as protestors while arming guns and pepper spray and it does work
If u see someone tht is suspicious pls stay calm +

+ dont challenge the person in the face and observe his actions, or tell people around u including the person to tuck their shirts in and if ur rlly sure the person is a cob dressing up as protestors then it might worth telling other people to watch out!
Cobs might also hv equipments such as earphones or earbuds as they would need to receive orders from their commander. It is worth watching out for that as well.
It is also very important to think independently!!! Don’t just follow people around u but think what r u aiming for and what’s the reason ur standing up tdy!! Make decisions tht u won’t regret and protect the people around u!!
