This first thing you should do when going protesting, is to leave your phone at home.
and cover your face if you are in a shithole country like USA, Turkey, Russia etc
USA ... the world's richest third world country.
Having a small faraday bag around is useful too, that's what I do.
I wouldn't trust a foil bag to do anything 100%.
the only 100% way to not be caught is not bring it.
it also provides an alibi. "see, my phone was here all day long."
I'm talking about an actual faraday bag, not a foil bag. That, combined with a powered off device keeps you fairly protected. They aren't going to get into your phone if it's powered off.
it also provides an alibi. "see, my phone was here all day long."
There's going to be a deviation in usage regardless, it's not providing an alibi. A gap of time when you're not using your device that you normally would be is a marker they look for. They key is keeping them locked out (again, power them off).
I mean, a proper Faraday cage will block anything unless the US government has figured out how to break the laws of physics...

If you think you need a phone, it should be a burner.
Radios or mesh devices only

Pigs are bottom feeding class traitors
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.
I don’t know about you but if I’m on the ground (protesting or not) the last thing I want is a helicopter coming down anywhere near me.
sounds like a good reason to target any helicopters flying overhead with green lasers.
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.

Talking a whole lot of shit for someone riding around in a machine that will find literally any excuse to break down. Helicopters are sketchy as fuck, and even if you manage to autorotate perfectly to try and recover from a stall, you're still liable to suffer severe or fatal injuries. It's super easy to crash due to human error or some kind of mechanical failure.

Green lasers. Everybody should have one.
Check comment above. This is a terrible idea. You'll go from 2 stars to 5.

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

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.
I'm an American, but my only experience with LA was traveling through for 2 days about 10 years ago. AKA no experience with LA.
This action appears to be originated from LAPD and therefore the local LA government. I have always considered LA to be deeply blue, and would therefore think that their local LA government would be Democrat, not Republican.
So should this not be the local blue voting populace having a word with their blue elected politicians?
The police are violent thugs everywhere, not just Republican cities and states.
It's because they have almost complete immunity from being prosecuted for wrongdoing and also, well, they are incredibly well armed and often use their monopoly on violence to threaten blue politicians.
I grew up in a city where cops didn't like their own chief of police because he wanted to drug test the force regularly after several got caught doing drugs on the job. The chiefs own force stalked him, harassed him, made violent threats against him and his family, until he was ran out of town. The police union sued him and said drug testing them violated their rights. The police union won in court. Those drug tests never happened.
That's kinda what I'm getting at. This isn't R vs D, and further perpetuating that is lending into the division of the country that the powers that be want.
This is class war, always has been. Police are the arm wielding power of the rich, used to push down the working class.

LAPD is not under the control of any government. They have literal warring gang factions within the LAPD. It is an occupying junta force.
LAPD is notoriously corrupt and vile even among other police peers and has been for a long time. Its only competitor is the NYPD

Checking out women sunbathing in backyards or other places.
One wonders just how viable the Ukranian strategy would be to take out LAPD choppers (when landed, of course).

That's in LA. It doesn't count. They're not people. /sarcasm
Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.
