Forum Post: Rules for Protesting (simple)

Stay out of the street. Keep off private property. March in an organized style so it does not look like a riot about to break out. Train protesters not to heckle the police. If a person does not know the law and/or does not intend to follow it, do not let such person lead or participate in your protest. Hold training sessions for protesters before each march, where they learn how to stay on the sidewalk, how to respond courteously to police presence. Do not allow others to bring megaphones to your protest, because such people can quickly overtake your protest and turn it into something you do not want. Train protesters to be aware of agents provocateurs and agitators in a crowd. Consider training and certifying protest leaders to ensure they know the law and lead protests in safe and legal manner.
