Your white skin is not bullet proof. Don’t get arrested for no reason, human shields of white people arent very useful against batons and tear gas. Be smart, clique up, and don’t be so fucking vain.
And for the love of god, stop lining up in front of the cops without at least making a [redacted] with whatever you find around you. Be water, never stop moving, keep the momentum in your control, not theirs.
Whenever you hit a choke point with the cops the clock is ticking. They WILL push through, they WILL use gas and they WILL beat you. That window is your time to either prepare or change course and make them start over again. Be like a shark, you die if you stop moving.
The only feasible goal right now is to exhaust and demoralize the other side to the point where they’re spread too thin to operate. Plan accordingly around this. You will NOT break through their lines without extraordinary numbers, and even then only by catching them off guard.
So when you hit a chokepoint you have to plan on getting out of there. Most of the time their lines won’t advance without a direct order, so extend that time by making a [redacted] to slow bikes. Garbage cans work well, but these will become sparse as the protests continue.
When the [thing] is nice and steady it’s time to decide whether to hold the line or try to flank on another block. I’m more keen on the flanking option unless you have tremendous numbers. The goal is to confuse and exhaust, not physically defeat and armed force.
A simple retreat and loop around the block to flank the other side and surprise them with [flowers and cookies] can really throw them off, they’re expecting you to be static and passive to their advances.
