For Anyone Interested. I was tear gassed protesting Vietnam War. Everyone has their own ideas, these are mine and some from a friend who was a Greenpeace field organizer.

- Meet before the protest to organize to have leaders, subgroups, watchers
- More people, FILL the streets
-More signs, they last in photos
-Wear body cams, you need your hands
-Have a stage for celebrities and leaders to speak
-More paper mache heads, they last in photos
-Give media standardized vests and a number so leaders can verify
- Give code words to check for infiltrators. If infiltrator knows word, but still looks suspicious, tell them it is not correct and watch reaction
- Start protest early in day, nighttime protests attract rogue actors
- If attacked, sit down, do not run
- Don't go downside streets to flank police, it spooks them
- Get proper full-face respirators, gloves, boxes to cover tear gas
- Meet with store owners before hand and give them signs to support protest if they do
- Have your protesters help guard stores
- Practice chants
