Cool...

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

Follow Hong Kong tactics and use umbrellas to shield from above.

What's wrong is that officers of the law are allowed to lie like that, yet still want to be respected.

Yeah, it's frustrating. We need to end Qualified Immunity pronto.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

In lying's defense, they shouldn't be respected when they say that regardless of its truthiness

[–] mriswith@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Threatened? So they didn't ID them.

This first thing you should do when going protesting, is to leave your phone at home.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

and cover your face if you are in a shithole country like USA, Turkey, Russia etc

[–] JunglisticFunkateer@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

USA ... the world's richest third world country.

And cover up your face and any visible tattoos or any other identifying features

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Put a rock in your shoe too. Gait identification can be shockingly accurate.

Green lasers. Everybody should have one.

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Check comment above. This is a terrible idea. You'll go from 2 stars to 5.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They have sonic weapons. They run over people with horses and armored vehicles.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

But they won't have copters to track you down and green lasers take out CCDs like nothing else. If they wanted to fly they shouldn't have weaponized the sky and flight.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 66 points 2 days ago (12 children)

sounds like a good reason to target any helicopters flying overhead with green lasers.

[–] bendovertherainbow@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

Someone I know is a military pilot. The green lasers were especially rough, because the light would get spread through the entire cockpit getting split up by the windshield, and even worse when he was flying with nightvision.

..... do with this information what you will.

What about walkie talkies? Short wave radios? Older tech comms devices?

Shouting from a helicopter "Please disperse because we'll come to your house and murder your families if you don't" sounds like an actionable threat. And helicopters are difficult to fly on a good day. Would be a shame if someone up there had an accident.
