They are armed. You should be too. And wear protective gear. They’ve permanently blinded people on purpose. They’ve already executed people in the street. Notice they aren’t near anyplace where bpp is active.
An alarm won’t stop a break in, and a whistle won’t stop these goons from harming you.
I mean, the Black Panthers started because people realized that peaceful unarmed protests would be violently busted, but peaceful heavily armed protests were politely watched from across the street. Blindfiring into crowds is a lot less appealing for cops when the entire crowd can return fire.
nor have the training/licensing required to cary/display them.
Exactly.
Recommending that random untrained people go around armed is a recipe for disaster (see: ICE’s random untrained people going around armed). It’s irresponsible, at best.
I read these people as if they’re calling for violence but trying to skirt the line in a way that doesn’t get them banned.

If you really want to fight back, learn from the Mexican cartels and Islamic insurgencies.
We have data on what works.
No it will not, but it will alert everyone around you to ICEs presence so they can have an opportunity to be somewhat prepared.
You’ll at least give your neighbours a chance to put some pants on, hide, barricade, or even arm themselves; before ICE tries to kick in their door.
It also calls others to your aid; quickly forming mob that out numbers ICE, forcing them to focus on crowd control instead of targeted kidnapping.
Intentional deescalation does more right now than having the people closest to ICE or Border Patrol agents carrying weapons.
The standard for now is that responders with guns stay back to deter massacres.
Ironic. If you want to reduce crime, invite the Black Panthers to keep the ICE Apes away.

Power only respects power. Always has been that way.
What is bpp?
I’ll assume it’s the Black Panther Party.

You both make good points, but prevention is better than de-escalation or alerting. Being known as protected is a preventative measure.
Of course alarms/monitoring and response (de-escalation) are very important. But stopping it before it starts should get attention as well.
Not everyone can afford big guns and heavy armor; nor have the training/licensing required to cary/display them.
3D printed whistles are a cheap and easy aid. Every bit of resistance helps.
