Gee, people in the US need to be this cautious when protesting? Where I live it's totally fine to just casually show up at protests, take selfies, talk to people and whatnot.
No...we don't. This I'm assuming is showing someone who's idea of protesting is burning cars and businesses down.
Sounds like someone doesn't know (or care) what can happen to protestors that are protesting the "wrong things"... Like oil and gas pipelines, for example, or training centers for heightened police militarization. Or foreign policy, even, that one has been happening for generations already.
Lol if only they would protest the right way, they wouldn't have to worry about anything, right?
Do you have anything to back your claims up?
The police in Atlanta literally executed a protest organizer in the protests against the new police training facility.
What has that to do with the precautions that are being suggested in the picture and in the comment section?
First. It pretty well disproves the "nothing to fear" line you used. Second, how do they know who to come after if your opsec is intact?
