if you guys ever attend a riot or protest, here are some tips
1) wear a mask on your face. this isn't just for corona. you wear a mask or bandana to cover your face so you won't be recognized on video tapes. no face, no case.
2) bring a gatorade squirt water bottle with water. if you get tear gassedor pepper sprayed, squirt it in the innermost part of your eye and move outwards. DO NOT USE MILK, IT WILL INFECT THE EYE AND/OR INCRESE YOUR RISK OF BLINDNESS. alternatively, wear googles.
3) turn of wifi and cellular data on your phone
4) cover up any tatoos that would identify you
5) if you have dyed hair or an uncommon natural color (natural highlights, red hair, etc.) cover it up with either a wig or hoodie. don't worry about looking weird, your safety is more important.
6) record if you can.
7) CS gas is a skin irritant, so cover up as much as possible.
8) wear running shoes in case you need to book it
9) if you can, bring over mitts to throw back thermal CS grenades
10) don't wear contacts
11) don't incite violence. often undercover cops start the violence and count on you to follow their lead.
12) don't wear makeup, gas sticks to it.
13) don't use real names. at least one person in the crowd speaks to an undercocer cop. choose words wisely.
14) if you post pics, PLEASE blur out faces for the safety of your fellow protesters
15) if you bring a sign, don't put and identifiable info on it. if you gotts run, you're gonna drop it.
16) some high tech stuff can identify you by your eyes and eyebrows. glue stick and baby powder layers (look up a tutorial) can cover your eyebrows. as for eyes, chalk contour has less oil than other makeup, so use that to change your eye shape
stay safe. be smart.
