More and more I think massive, well organized strikes, (For everyone that can*) and thousands of smaller protests on coordinated days, other methods of effective protest they can't weaponize, are best
They did this during the ANTIFA and George Floyd protesting. The police were proven in many cases to be instigators with other provocateurs. Masked men in white vans picked protesters up and spirited them away without due process.
I also fear Trump / GOP will plant trouble makers - their Jan. 6th troops are likely -in whic case sitting down is a safety measure as well as politically necessary
Sit down, signs down, start filming. Some of the event volunteers are handing out whistles as an additional precaution to alert any trouble - take one if offered. And just as we do not feed trolls, remember to not interact with counter-protesters.
It's definitely a possibility. But I do know the protesters are instructing their people in methods of escalation and knowing how to walk away from people and not argue with them about viewpoints. But it's definitely something they would try. Because martial law then becomes an option.

The media here isn’t showing it because it’s not on brand for their cause. We know who they are when we’re out there. The infiltrators stand out.
LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Excellent idea.
At some point provocateurs will appear at peaceful demonstrations.
Stay calm and strategically minded. Avoid unnecessary conflict/confrontation, document illegal/unlawful incidents safely, and assist fellow protesters when needed. Stay safe and focused. #SafeProtest #ProtestSafety
It takes 3.5 % of the Population to have a successful revolt!
