    He reaches for his weapon, only to realize that he literally can't kill all of them without at least being swarmed to death like a school of piranhas. For once in his life, two brain cells in his head rub together, and he stands down.

      I fuckin' loved seeing that moment of cold realization of "oh god, they could kill us both right now so easily..."

        Not so brave without a wall of Stormtroopers carrying spud guns and tear gas cans and taser robots to stand behind.

            Start with getting people to agree with us. Preferably in person. And be careful while carrying a skateboard, they're the most deadly weapons of all and make you no. 1 target for arrest.

                I think part of the Rittenhouse case was the "antifa" guy carrying a skateboard, which justified Rittenhouse in shooting him from 100 feet away.

      Also as the pigs have extensively researched themselves, at close range like in the video, guns actually lose most of their advantages and became not much better than a knife.

      It's called the "21 foot rule" and is legitimately what cops have used to justify killing people.

      https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/21-foot-rule-controversial-police-training-shootings/

      The basic is, at average a person can cover said 21 foot distance faster than a gun-wielder can draw and aim their weapon. In a violent situation this means the shorter the starting distance, the higher the odds of the melee fighter can overcome the shooter.

    Fuck yes :red-fist: I love moments like this, they are my life force.

    The more this kind of thing happens the more people realise we have the power to change the world if we band together and fight back

      The scooter thrower and the woman in heels tossing that drink cup at the pigs were both great to see

    Remember, the harder and faster you pitch in as a group to help de-arrest a comrade the more successful the outcome.

      They were pretty slow here, the cops get spooked by the initial grabbing at them but they successfully fend that off. The crowd was going to resort to just chanting at them and comrade was gonna get arrested but the sandwich carton getting thrown and the presence of the skateboard is enough to spook them into giving up on it.

    It didn't take much from any one individual to scare those fucks. Many hands makes light work.

    And we are many, MANY hands.

    here you see a bunch of people too scared to make the first move at actually stopping the arrest

    i feel like someone in the crowd needs to help everyone else realize the concept of "there are more of us than you"
