Main aims of the protestor:
1) for you and your friend get away safely rather than fighting
2) cause embarrassment and economic damage to your target
3) helping others by administering first aid and de-arresting
4) mobilize and radicalize others for your cause

The objectives of cops are:
1) to break the spirit of the crowd by intimidating and breaking up the crowd into "manageable" portions
2) to provoke violence to justify their own actions and to pick up "leaders"
3) contain crowd by surrounding it
4) gather evidence for later

Dress Code- Considering Surveillance:
1) Cover up tattoos and features that stand out
2) Wear single colors, try to go for no logos.
3) hoods will cover most of your face
4) baseball caps protect you from most cameras mounted above
BE AS UNIDENTIFIABLE AS POSSIBLE.

Dress Code- Staying Safe
1) Less skin is best: tear-gas sticks to humidity and sweat, wear long sleeves. Bring a change of clothes.
2) Good pair of running shoes, best defense
3) Consider wearing padding under your sleeves so that batons don't break your arms.

Tear Gas sticks to moisture, that's why it burns your eyes. DON'T START FLUSHING IT OUT UNTIL YOU'RE OUT OF ITS REACH OR ALL OF THE PARTS OF YOU THAT ARE WET WILL BURN. Wear long sleeves!
Kneel, open your eyelids, have someone squirt water into your eyes. Do *not* use milk. 2/3

You can easily make a cheap Tear-Gas respirator that will give you 30mins of breathable air. You'll need activated charcoal (bought at pet or gardening stores). Make and distribute them.

I've gotta go to the workshop but ill be back in a bit. Before I leave tho, this is essential:
DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE.Their objective is to fuck you up and they'll use anything you say as a weapon against you. Don't plead the 5th, say "I will remain silent and want my lawyer"
