Everytime I’m at a demonstration with a lot of police violence like lots of Palestine demonstration I get very nervous, my heart starts racing, my knees get weak and my breath becomes short. I even get it when watching videos of police violence or when I see SWAT team busses outside of demonstrations. I’m not the only one that feels that way but others that I see at every demonstration deal with it better, I feel like. They can get in the zone better. So do you have tips?
Being the only person in protective gear at a protest can sometimes lead to being singled out and beaten harder by the police. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, just something to keep in mind.
Yeah that’s a good point, we should all probably wear helmets to any protest with a high potential for police brutality, concussions suck. All other body armor can be mostly concealed in clothing.
