I haven’t seen footage of the protests yet. I’m curious what tactics people are using, because if they’re just marching around by themselves it’ll be much easier to get picked off. I’ve seen it in 2020. Also people scattering when cops run towards them which makes every person in the crowd vulnerable. Even for dog brained american cops who are itching to kill will be hesitant if the crowd is absurdly large and hard to breach

I don’t know how big the crowd was, but Emerson is a pretty small school. 4100 enrolled students, so it’s hard to know how many are protesting.
