💥Be careful with munitions, it's hard to tell a gas grenade from a flashbang.
💥Gas grenades are still grenades, rubber bullets are still bullets. They're "less-lethals" 💥 In case of sonic weapons: Run SIDEWAYS and DIAGONAL not straight away. Earplugs are harm reduction.
💥Don't touch anything bare handed and wait til it explodes before you knock it back. 💥Don't take souvenirs, they may be coated with chemicals or incriminating UV dyes
🌊Just use water to rinse out tear gas 👁
🧼 Castile soap washes pepper spray off your skin 🧼

📸 Don't show faces of any protestor in streams, videos, or photos; & scrub your EXIF! 🤳
🙈 Wear a mask, no contact lenses, cover tattoos, bring eye protection 🙈
🙊 DON'T TALK TO COPS, if they arrest you say NOTHING but "I invoke my right to remain silent and my right to consult an attorney" 🙊
🙉 Don't trust anything they tell you 🙉
🐷 If they take a knee, IT'S A TRAP (And don't dance the macarena with the NG neither!)🐷
💦And always stay hydrated baby~💦

✨✊Abolish the Police ✊✨
