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.

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?

I mean thats how the Black Panthers operated, it was super successful, so much so that even the NRA helped pass gun laws over it.
