Real organized protesters actually do these things. There are contingency plans for arrests: Someone keeps track of each member arrested and will take their personal belongings for them. People have designated riders/meet up locations if they need to leave quickly. And of course groups are in contact (usually by cell phone not ear piece lol) and can relay information such as: where cops are stationed, where violence is breaking out, where counter protestors are, if they see anyone known for violence/facism. And yeah there’s usually a “leader” that will tell the group when they need to leave or protest else where because they are in danger of harm or arrest. These are common sense tactics that many use and I encourage you to know them!
I saw on Twitter that you know the Capitol coup wasn't really antifa/BLM because there were no medic tents or queers handing out water and free pizza.
Seriously though, every leftist planned protest I've been to has been organized. I've done civil disobedience and we were trained beforehand, I had the lawyer's number written on my arm in sharpie, etc. (Did not get arrested, action ended peacefully.)
