There are also Reproductive Laborers, who are supporters who provide food, water and other material needs, including childcare

When you're facing a line of cops across a metal barricade, don't put your hands on the barricade.
When you lock arms with other protesters, don't interlace your fingers, but use a gable grips.

You can also use a Leaf Blower to blow the tear gas back.
You can also throw Water Balloons filled with oil based paint against the riot police. It's gonna make it hard for them to actually see what's happening!

"A riot is the voice of the unheard" - MLK

hit banks, chains, corporation and government buildings
Always leave Bodegas and small shops alone!
Always wear mask and gloves
Think guerrilla warfare over last stand tactics

POLICE REFORM/DEFUNDING/ABOLITION

"Police have an obvious but very limited role in a civilized society. Cops can be good at things like handling mass shootings, natural disaster help, writing tickets, and generally handling standard emergencies that don't involve mental health. They also have an obvious role in investigating crime. Now the police force we have is totally not fit for the above purpose. However that doesn't mean we couldn't conceive of a civil servant role that does meet those needs."
