Re: Protests

Remember to leave your phone AT HOME, don't just turn it off or remove the battery, leave it at home. If you need a phone, then buy a dumbphone as a burner. Keep it turned off until you need to use it and store only the most vital numbers in it. One of which should be a lawyer you trust.

You should also write down the lawyers number and keep it on you for safekeeping too. Write it on your arm in sharpie if you have to. Watch out for fellow protestors who seem overly interested in your plans and friends. They are undercover cops. They will wear heavy well maintained boots, and probably have an article of clothing such as a bandana or obvious t shirt or jacket patch in a very bright and obvious colour. This marks them out to fellow cops.

When protesting, watch behind the police front line. This is where the snatch squads form up. Watch for movement of large groups and for the front line either making room, or starting to push forward. That means the snatch squad is about to move. Avoid the police horses. The cops like to use cavalry tactics to run protestors down. They also guard the snatch squad. So keep an eye on those.

If you get arrested, then SHUT THE FUCK UP. Even, especially, in the holding cells. Don't talk to your friends, definitely don't talk to strangers, the only person you talk to is your lawyer. You shut the fuck up. Don't talk about the bus you are taking home, or where you are meeting for pizza, or asking for help with homework, or bitch about how your boss wouldn't give you time off. SHUT THE FUCK UP until your lawyer, and only your chosen lawyer, bounces you.

Remember to dress warmly in layers. The cops like to corral and kettle protestors, and keep you in the weather, and away from lavatories. Dress in layers that you can easily take on and pull off.

When you are protesting, unless it is a crowd chant, then SHUT THE FUCK UP. The cops are always listening.

To add to this: if you can, take public transportation to a protest. If you can't, try and park a little ways away and walk to the protest area. You don't want your car nearby.

Wear masks - helps with pepper sprays or other airborne attacks and you will be in close quarters with a lot of people/germs with the added bonus of hiding your face.

Stay with the crowd - don't get separated.

Do not engage with violent agents of chaos or anti-protesters. Protests will always bring out the anarchists and bad players, do not engage. Stay peaceful and with the majority.

And repeating because it is worth repeating: leave your phone at home!

You'll see posts on the internet about milk or milk of magnesia or a range of other quack remedies, but the safest and best way of getting tear gas and pepper spray out your eyes is still just saline eyewash, or bottled water. The only thing that calms the sting is removing the irritant, and saline is the safest way to do it. There is no shortcut for diluting it and washing it out.

Don't wear contact lenses to a protest, btw. Gas or spray can get underneath them, and that can really fuck up your eyes, plus you'll need to replace them. Beanbag rounds and/or rubber rounds can force them into your eyeball, creating even more damage. Same with watercannon spray. Plus, if you have rarely worn glasses with heavy rims, wear them and they'll make it a little harder for you to be identified. The Clark Kent effect is real, people.

Final thing. Virtually nobody plans to go to a violent protest or a riot, but that doesn't stop a peaceful protest becoming one; especially if the cops are determined to fight one. Get any large group of people together, for any reason, and it can spiral real quickly to violence. You don't even have to do anything. Stand next to someone who, unknown to you, heaves a brick at the cops... well now you are a known associate and accomplice. Worse if they had better identity disguising measures than you and can't be found, because the cops know that politically they have to arrest and prosecute someone and you've just made it easier for them to do it to you.
