@foolishowl @enby_of_the_apocalypse I think we need more small fast autonomous groups but also people to understand momentum and committing to a movement so when one group sees an opening, everyone swarms. Cops are heavy and slow, and if we armor up the same then we're going to only increase the violence they use while forcing direct combat that has higher penalties. Hitting a col vs smashing a window for example. I suspect light infantry style (helmets, hard gloves, goggles) protects against most of what the cops do so a charge against a line gets a lot less scary, but we don't sacrifice speed and agility. This means the vanguard that slams the line first can fully commit. Often the front bloc hesitating kills momentum that could easily overwhelm the cops. Idk. Maybe you have a different idea of calvary than me
