I actually had a conversation with a TFP member last year about ballistic vests. I plan on attending the May protests again this year, but jeans and a sweatshirt clearly are not enough to serve and protect me from the police. I plan on wearing soccer shin guards, a cup, and possibly a ballistic vest this coming year, and I'm considering bringing head gear and a double filter gas mask in a back-pack in case things get really bad. It seems a lot of work just to voice my opinion about immigration policy, but if that's what it takes to be safe I don't see myself having a choice.
RB, the tie in about the FBI is a very interesting point, and I believe you're right to reference it because the parallels are glaring.
So I guess I was right: if you're attacked by the police there's nothing you can legally do to defend yourself. As a protester, I find that most disconcerting.
