"Former Portland Police Chief Mark Kroeker back in 1970 marched in the LAPD tac squad beating/murdering activists chanting “kill kill kill”… In the early 00s he was appointed chief of the Portland Police, only to later train the police and militaries of Israel and Liberia in repression, before finally serving as head cop at the UN."

What To Expect When You’re Expecting Repression
Most folks radicalized online in these recent years have virtually no knowledge of what serious state repression looks like, and that lack of preparation scares me to my bones. SWAT raids, abductions, rape, torture blacksites, mock executions… those of us…

Wow so this morning the Brooklyn Housing Court woke up to its doors spray foamed and bike locked shut, and then this document was released in a telegram room. It looks like people are not tolerating evictions any more.

As far as election night, I don't think staying in one place and trying for martyrdom via police brutality is the answer.
But I don't think mere shouting and marching is either.
It's probably unwise to go any more specific than saying look how Belarus citizens responded to their rigged election results. Or how Colombia responded to a cop killing someone. Or how Lebanon responded to the port disaster.
Whatever actions manifest for Nov 3rd,
HK's "be water" and "bloom everywhere" tactics are essential IMO.
Gathering in one spot and staying there is not super helpful imo.
The system has to be confronted and strategized against.
A protest that works within the confines of the system and is peaceful enough to be ignored will not move the needle.
