so my new yorkers, you know how people say “yo these opps don’t play”, listen to those people, they’re right and i’ll tell you why
when i protested i was spat on, shoved, almost arrested, ended up bloody, cursed at, laughed at etc. these cops don’t care how old you are or how you look, they will put force on you
in soho, the cops ran people over. they arrested a man who wasn’t even protested but was simply walking down the street to go to whole foods. i had one cop threatened me and my friend but we ran away. like i said they chased us so don’t wear boots, that was my mistake
bring water, especially since it’s getting warmer. there will be people giving out water but it’s best to bring some anyways and cover your face, there will be undercover cops
bring running shoes, again, they will chase you
bring medical stuff. i did once and a lot of people needed it
and more importantly, be safe, if you need to leave, it’s okay. don’t get yourself killed.
