I’m UK based btw. I had my tangles with the police at protests in my younger days. It’s intimidating, even when nominally peaceful. I have a lot of respect for those of you willing to face off against the nastier crowd control methods.
It’s worth noting that there is still a huge difference between what you dealt/deal with and shoot-to-kill military weapons fire.
If I thought it would help, I would (unhappily) deal with tear gas etc. I’m too old, with too much to lose to risk rubber bullets etc, but respect those that would. VERY few people would face gunfire without the ability to fire back. The American Left is not at the point where they are willing to escalate to that point.

Well if it’s strictly about guns, then the american left has a point to prove about the second amendment.
Is it only there to help school shooters, or is it about well regulated militias opposing tyranny?
Waiting and watching.
Their biggest problem is media capture. With the loss of twitter to Musk, there’s no large scale organisation path that hasn’t been captured.
