http://groupme.com/ or some other texting app... It appears after watching protests last night that people are not organised enough to instantly know where to go to protest moment to moment. You in NYC, particularly at night, need an instant group texting method. I posted "groupme" at the top of this post because it would seem to serve that purpose. Instantly tell thousands who add their cellphone #'s to a list where to go. I am sure there is a program that can upload many #'s at once. This way you all can know where the cops are, instantly disband and meet up where it's safe. You all need equal or superior communications abilities to the NYPD. Also, what makes the NYPD stand out and intimidate and aids them in herding traffic? Their riot gear, their vehicles, their weapons. You protesters cannot and should not arm, but you should wear protective clothing, padding, and lightweight helmets. Have an Urban Survival Kit with you At all times. Learn how to protect yourself from attack and learn chemical warfare survival.
See: http://www.angelfire.com/nm/DeathProductions/chem.html You need to establish small mobile triage units at strategic points along the intended march routes. Medics need to have identifying insignia and location which is known to all. The cops will probably not hassle them. Also, since you cannot bring in vehicles to block police movement without your driver friends getting ticketed or arrested, consider using the 'Bat Signal Billboard' method to project important strategic information and not just pithy soundbites, as inspiring as they are.
Other suggestions anyone should like to add can be posted as a reply to this message.
I totally appreciate the advice and information.Won't police tune into a centralized groupme technology ?
They can crack any tech. But at some point the protesters will outnumber the cops 10 to 1. How many cops in NYC? We need to overwhelm them. Even if they know where people are meeting, 600,000 people would outnumber and render them impotent. Remember: they are more afraid of us than we are of them! Yesterday, watching livefeed, I noticed how they fidget more when in the middle of thousands of people chanting. They are terrified!
The system has three military battalions under the unconstitutional NorthCom, trained to contain the American populace during a popular uprising. Should that be insufficient, the North American Security Pact, created without the consent of the Congress and knowledge of the public, will allow treasonous American generals/president to call in foreign troops to fight Americans. So police have backup, both domestic and foreign.
And totally splash buckets of paint on the NYPD's riot gear. I suggest the Colors Red, White, and Blue.
Your dumb ass is safe in ID. You're a punk.
If I'm a dumbass, what does that make you?
This is why everyone at a protest needs a small emergency kit with them. Essential is a mix of Mylanta and water for dousing peppersprayed faces.

People: be prepared for anything; from police brutality to weather extremes. March Smart.
I noticed the same thing last night as they were broken up, which was the intention. I like that groupme app. Great idea for key group leaders to communicate.
You're really getting a kick out of playing urban commando aren't you? All that money your white middle class parents spent on your education and you end up running around pretending to be GI Gandhi. Sigh.
Yeah, sigh, would you rather see people peppersprayed, teargassed and shot? Protecting yourself keeps you safe and strong to keep marching! It's only common sense. Why don't you add a constructive idea instead of lobbing lame insults from the comfort of your trailer?
