If the police won’t even protect their supporters, then “F’ ‘em”.
**************************************************
It’s clear that the Denver cops were “only following orders” with their passivity. Sadly, in the future, they may be “only following orders” when they take “active measures” against us. DON’T DOUBT THAT.
Arm up, FRiends!
They should have disobeyed such an order. I’m just not real upset about the poor police. I think in a lot of cases they are part of the mob action, and just going through the motions of law enforcement. Fake law enforcement.
That’s not going to do you *any* good if you don’t take additional precautions.
Mask. Obscure your upper face too. Ideally wear a full-face motorcycle helmet with a tinted or mirrored visor if you anticipate potential hand to hand or something like a Guy Fawkes mask if you do not. This has NOTHING to do with COVID-19, though you can use that as an excuse for why you are wearing the face covering if you are questioned. If you don’t, all you’ve done is ensure the cops will be waiting for you at home when you return. Facial recognition computers are a thing, people, and they have the drivers’ license database to compare against. The cops may also ‘leak’ your ID to BLM/AF and let *them* deal with you while they stand around the doughnut shop looking appalled.
Glove up. Wipe your gear down. Don’t put fingerprints on anything.
Have your own body camera. Do not rely on anyone else’s. Basic body cameras are cheap. A better option would be for one that streams its recording to an online service so that the seizure or destruction of your camera doesn’t delete the evidence.
If you are going armed, use something with a quickly replaceable/discardable barrel and have spare barrels. A small file is a good idea, to take a couple swipes at the ejector and tip of the firing pin after discarding the barrel.
In many places, the cops are not your allies, the government will file charges against you even if they have clear evidence of self-defense (and will lose that evidence if they can) and they will attempt to ruin your life through extrajudicial means. Plan accordingly.

.... no doubt that days is coming. :(
Definitely! She and her supporters should’ve been packing some heat. I am so sick and tired of these scumbags who go after people like that.
