Defanging the Trump mercenaries

I would suggest moving your protests to areas that have no Federal property in sight. Gather in the parks or other areas that are under city and state jurisdiction where the goon squads have no excuse to attack or kidnap you. Surround your area with and carry American flags. Be peaceful and nonviolent. If these thugs venture out of Federal areas they can be arrested by local authorities for perpetrating violence against you. This tin pot law and order campaign is designed to give Donald Trump the narrative he is seeking to create. The media will still cover your protests and gatherings. Hold press conferences to make your objectives known. Strip them of cause and they will have no effect. They will look ridiculous and so will Trump. You still maintain the right to assemble. Do it in a manner that prevents injury and arrest. Make these toy soldiers and their commander look like the fools they are. Turn this into a more effective PR campaign than that conceived by Trump and Barr. Good luck and stay safe.

by forcing the thugs to come out after protesters, or they stay huddled around the fed buildings looking impotent and unneeded.

There needs to be a concerted effort to publish the names and faces of everyone if these lawless thugs.
