      Sounds like they should be bringing some kind of self defense tool to their protests.

        Then there’s pretext, and the leftists get painted as thugs - appropriate targets for more aggressive crackdowns.

        It’s a lose-lose, but protesters will almost never benefit by responding to police brutality with an armed response. Counter-protests are generally a lesser problem.
