    They can handle one protest at one location. Make a list of 20 protest sites, and pass it out to everyone. When the riot cops show up in force, leave. Quickly. Move to another site. Keep forcing them to either pull out of a previous site, or spread themselves thin.

      No, it’s too late for that and they slept through it. You are talking about a democracy where the rights of protesters are respected. Under fascism, such things are easy to suppress. Trump was able to replace enough people in his time… Now that it’s already too late, people are desperate to act… especially with peaceful protests against the police etc. who can hardly wait to smash your heads in.

          Before all the high positions were filled by Trump, there should have been riots. Now Trump has integrated his system. In a democracy, protests in 20 different locations can be more challenging. Since police would have to respect laws… In fascism, however, this is no longer of any use, because if necessary the 20 positions are then decimated by force of arms. It’s too late. People have peacefully watched democracy being dismantled.

            What are you even talking about here? Its certainly not anything related to overwhelming the limited logistic capabilities of law enforcement.

              In democracy this works.
              In fascism its not working because at some Point they just start Shooting and spread fear.

                  Peaceful protest works when you can humble someone into hearing you out. A sense of civility that understands it’s an alternative to violence.

                  It doesn’t work when they just send in federalized national guard and teargas you and shoot the press no matter how peaceful the assembly, because it is seen as violence to disagree loudly.

                  -just my summary, hope it helps

    Good or bad whatever happens after today my hope is that it opens the eyes of people on the sidelines to what the problem is and motivates them to make the right decision and stand on the side of freedom and against tyranny. Stay strong stay safe everyone love and respect.
