    If they resort to lethal force, it must not be responded to with violent resistance they expect.

    Then what else? Because in such a situation you only have fight or flight.

      There is no flight. There cannot be flight.

      You can’t fight tanks and automatic armed men with hunting rifles and handguns.

      Vehicles need fuel, oil, tires, maintenance, and certainly not sand or anything in the fuel tank. Thugs need food, water, ammunition, communication, and pay. Dispersal equipment needs electricity, chemicals, training.

        Counterpoint: Syria. Also if it gets to that point a significant chunk of the military would instantly defect, so yeah. But let’s not jump the gun; for now this is still police and not particularly aligned semi-military forces. The national guard certainly shouldn’t be provoked for now, but ICE should be fought whenever and wherever they try to kidnap someone. If the resistance doesn’t protect its own members and their communities from ICE, it simply cannot survive.
