Get it on tape! Or better yet livestream!
- Like Floyd did?
  I mean, yes always get it on tape and spread it as widely as you can before they seize it for "evidence", but don't expect anything to come of it.
- The regular media will parrot the party line

The Peaceful LA Protests of June, 2025 worked. We're all talking about it now. If the LA protests weren't peaceful, we would have different talking points for this weekend's protests and protesters would have been killed. This administration wants this.
YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.: https://sh.itjust.works/post/39873361
Also, this:
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

- The media is already treating 4 burned waymos and a dozen police cruisers damaged in a small 5 block radius as the total collapse of order and society.
  The media will keep brodcasting lies.
  Same as they did during the Civil Rights Movement
  Same as BLM in 2020
  You are just learning that all these "violent looter riots" for the last 50 years actually were legitimate protests demonized by the corporate owned media.
  
  Funny, the NPR and local news reports as well as the statements from our mayor and governor have emphasized the nonviolent and peaceful nature of the protests. They've noted that even the after-dark vandalism and misbehaving is less than a typical sports-championship crowd. Sure "FOX News" is screaming lies, but nobody is supposed to believe that, their own lawyers said so.
  
  So, you know trump wants to declare martial law so he can do a military coup, starting with California, right? Do you see how violence would be problematic?
- How did they work exactly?
  
  Well BLM ended racism and the cops aren't violent anymore. Oh and some of had not bloated budgets for a few months!

Yes, but still…. Protest Peacefully!
- Civil disobedience. Disruption. That's what gets the goods.
  Anyone looting should be assumed to be a false flag Proud Boy/Oathkeeper
  
  Because that's how fascist regimes have been bright down in the past.... right?

Well if that's the case, bring rifles. If it's going to be violent and they won't leave us a choice, go off.
- So how does this work? Explain this to me. You bring a rifle to a protest and then a shitty ICE dude shoots you with a rubber bullet and then what? Does this end well for anyone.
  Again:

  No, the police tend to go hands-off when armed people show up to a protest. This is the real reason behind the second amendment, not the republican gun nut use of guns for fear and control.
  They start shit and get violent when nobody has the power to hit back.
  When they actually have the potential to trigger people shooting back with intent, they are far, far more careful.
  They’re bullies. They’re scared when someone can hit back.
  
  Yeah I'm dismayed how much violence stoking I see in the comments. People need to stay safe, and throwing gasoline on a sparking outlet is not the way to do that
  
  Constitutional Carry is a thing in a lot of states…
  Though somehow I think it might be different if the armed mob isn’t menacing a Planned Parenthood or something.
  
  It's time to start killing for what we believe in. Let them fear us to bring lasting change. The dominoes have already fallen and we are in a state of civil war where only one side is choosing not to fight for fear of escalation and it's leaving us trod underfoot. Death is the solution.
  
  You want to talk about shady shit?
  The fucking 50501 movement is funded by Isreal and controlled by Neoliberals.
  The same money that prematurely ended the Covid lock downs because the BLM violent protests were making tangible change on police and election reform.
  I appreciate the desire to be peaceful, but after how long of us sitting around getting shot at and imprisoned are you expecting a fascist oligarchy to give up and go home?

Is this… Palestine?
- It's called the imperial boomerang.

So, just go into it with violence in mind, then? What advice is this really giving? Shoot first, because they're just going to lie about it anyway?
Fuck that.
Defend yourself if you have to, but telling people to use violence, just makes what they say about protesters, true. Don't validate them.
- Shoot first, because they're just going to lie about it anyway?
  No. Nobody said show up and open fire on every cop you see. Being the instigator will not help anyone.
  Show up, present arms to demonstrate that you can and will defend yourself and your fellow protestors should the cops chose to escalate as they have repeatedly done in the past, and proceed to march peacefully until/unless you are attacked. Then, defend yourself as necessary, taking care to not cross the line from defence to aggressor.
  Note, I'd recommend some form of body camera as you will almost certainly have to defend your use of force in court later.
- I agree with you that nobody should participate in protests with the intention to engage in violence, however I think anyone who's going to protest needs to be ready to defend themselves with violence.
  Law enforcement won't be the only threat you face.
  
  Bringing my hard hat, my gas mask, with extra NATO cartages, an umbrella, a spray bottle with water, back up battery, and a 5 gallon bucket.
- When police shoot at unarmed protesters then the protesters need to show up armed.
  Police are too afraid to shoot their rubber bullets and gas grenades at armed people, because of the implication that they may defend themselves.
  
  I'm curious, has anyone collected data on that?

Generally the occupation force will play coy during day, then escalate with violence after dark.
I am a bit surprised that this time around, they ate not waiting until dark. They are clearly baiting the peasants.

Pre-emptive strikes are apparently kosher now.

Truth. ✊🏼
