Like Floyd did?
I mean, yes always get it on tape and spread it as widely as you can before they seize it for "evidence", but don't expect anything to come of it.
The regular media will parrot the party line
The Peaceful LA Protests of June, 2025 worked. We're all talking about it now. If the LA protests weren't peaceful, we would have different talking points for this weekend's protests and protesters would have been killed. This administration wants this.
YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.: https://sh.itjust.works/post/39873361
Also, this:
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

The media is already treating 4 burned waymos and a dozen police cruisers damaged in a small 5 block radius as the total collapse of order and society.
The media will keep brodcasting lies.
Same as they did during the Civil Rights Movement
Same as BLM in 2020
You are just learning that all these "violent looter riots" for the last 50 years actually were legitimate protests demonized by the corporate owned media.
Funny, the NPR and local news reports as well as the statements from our mayor and governor have emphasized the nonviolent and peaceful nature of the protests. They've noted that even the after-dark vandalism and misbehaving is less than a typical sports-championship crowd. Sure "FOX News" is screaming lies, but nobody is supposed to believe that, their own lawyers said so.
Which political party's PACS does your mayor and governor receive funding from?

How did they work exactly?
Well BLM ended racism and the cops aren't violent anymore. Oh and some of had not bloated budgets for a few months!

Yes, but still…. Protest Peacefully!
Civil disobedience. Disruption. That's what gets the goods.
Anyone looting should be assumed to be a false flag Proud Boy/Oathkeeper

Well if that's the case, bring rifles. If it's going to be violent and they won't leave us a choice, go off.

So, just go into it with violence in mind, then? What advice is this really giving? Shoot first, because they're just going to lie about it anyway?
Fuck that.
Defend yourself if you have to, but telling people to use violence, just makes what they say about protesters, true. Don't validate them.

No. Nobody said show up and open fire on every cop you see. Being the instigator will not help anyone.
Show up, present arms to demonstrate that you can and will defend yourself and your fellow protestors should the cops chose to escalate as they have repeatedly done in the past, and proceed to march peacefully until/unless you are attacked. Then, defend yourself as necessary, taking care to not cross the line from defence to aggressor.
Note, I'd recommend some form of body camera as you will almost certainly have to defend your use of force in court later.
I agree with you that nobody should participate in protests with the intention to engage in violence, however I think anyone who's going to protest needs to be ready to defend themselves with violence.
Law enforcement won't be the only threat you face.
Bringing my hard hat, my gas mask, with extra NATO cartages, an umbrella, a spray bottle with water, back up battery, and a 5 gallon bucket.
When police shoot at unarmed protesters then the protesters need to show up armed.
Police are too afraid to shoot their rubber bullets and gas grenades at armed people, because of the implication that they may defend themselves.

Generally the occupation force will play coy during day, then escalate with violence after dark.
I am a bit surprised that this time around, they ate not waiting until dark. They are clearly baiting the peasants.
Is this… Palestine?
It's called the imperial boomerang.
Pre-emptive strikes are apparently kosher now.
