    there needs to be at least 10 of us with knives and aluminum bats hitting right back.

    No, because that will make them open fire…

    What will work is protesters in plated vests with rifles.

    Every state is different. For Minnesota it’s illegal to open carry a rifle, and there’s no permit to open carry a rifle. But if you get a permit to carry a handgun, you’re now allowed to carry a rifle.

    The threat of effective violence is more effective than the actual act of ineffective violence, even when the threat is just passively implied by the presence of rifles and plates.

    It costs less than a grand to get kitted out just like an ICE agent, hell, most of them don’t even seem to carry rifles, but all the more reason for protesters.

      The Black Panthers seem to understand what it’s gonna take to deter Miller’s stormtroopers. Superior firepower.

      Protesters should assign disciplined guardians: Kitted out, and watching from rooftops and windows.

      These terrorist cowards might come to understand the words “constitutional oversight” when they break RoE and are gravely punished from above in return.
