As I understand it, the black Panthers were so successful, laws were passed to stop them; why don’t people LEGALLY walk in groups open carrying to keep ICE polite?
In states that allow open carry without a permit, do so; in ones that require a permit or license, get one; of course again, keep everything within the bounds of the law.
Edit: also travel in groups, the larger the better
The police wasn’t as militarized. SWAT didn’t exist in its current form back then. SWAT was slowly developing as a domestic counterinsurgency apparatus after the Watts riots. One of the first real assignments of LAPD’s SWAT was in fact engaging in a shootout with the LA branch of the BPP.
Even at their most militant, the BPP were mostly armed with pistols and shotguns. Those weapons wouldn’t do shit vs your average ICE goon wearing body armor and carrying assault rifles.
