A riot is beginning to break out in a city closest to you, Holla Forums. What are reasonable, smart tactics and plans for those rioters to follow through with to actually put up a fight as opposed to being dispersed and scattered like most riots usually turn up as?

You needfour things. Four core, essential things.
EQUIPMENT
The first, easiest to secure, and perhaps most essential to actually putting up any kind of fight at all is some level of equipment. If you want to fight, you're going to need shields, melee weapons, armor. You do not want to be taking hits on undefended flesh, you do not want to be stuck trying to throw punches or kicking against someone who has a riot shield. You want goggles of some kind because pepperspray fucking sucks. You want some basic medical equipment like bandages, disinfectants, eye wash, and gauze because that equipment defense isn't going to work 100% of the time.
ORGANIZATION
Now, in order to be more than a bunch of angry people flailing around uselessly with sticks and pot helmets, you're going to need some level of coherency. You need to know when barricades and lines will be set up, you need to have people on constant scout duty, you need to make sure that you don't all collapse the moment the police make a serious push. You need to be able to make sure that if an ambulance is needed, that everyone stays out of the way. You need to make sure that people know what they're doing, when they're doing it, and why.
'TRAINING
If you want to bring things up to par, to make sure that people are actually capable of pulling all this off, you need people trained so that they're capable of operating on at least a basic level in practice. And so you need to practice it. Simple combat, maneuvers, following orders, and not breaking formations are all pretty important. This ties in heavily to the organization above but is a bit more lengthy and repetition to get people used to it.
LOGISTICS
Finally, if you want to last longer than a day or two, you need to be able to support everyone, which means you're going to need to have people making and bringing in food for them, you're going to need shelters, you're going to need upkeep on your equipment. If there's nothing to eat, nobody is going to stay very long.
It's basic but these things are serious things that need to be addressed first and foremost before you try anything else.

If we're going into tactics though.
Build A Wall. Seriously, tire fires, sand bags, walls of pallets. Big heavy things work better than lots of smaller ones because they can't be removed piece by piece.
Halfchan's /k/ made a doc on things from the ukranian riots in 2014.

This is very useful. Any possibility of this getting finished? Or at the very least could us Holla Forumsers create another doc and expand on it on the OC thread or some such?

Ants ain't going to work brah. With all the molotovs and stampede of rioters and porkies, I don't think those ants are going to be able to survive long enough to make a substantial impact psychologically or physically.
Jack Jones
It's unlikely it's going to be finished, it's a bit of a historical document at this point. However it is a good idea to make one of our own.

Whats wrong with google docs? Genuine question
Adam Gomez
Google is basically a massive datamine.

you might as well add sewerage to that. those riot cops won't be very happy smelling like shit or vomit, and could catch a cold. just want to check it's not against the geneva convention or whatever first. the Israelis use this skunk spray shit on people
Jose Reyes
We could get the Editor to maybe turn it to some kind of pamphlet pdf that is easily printable and distributed. Maybe have one version detailing what to do in organizing a riot while having a shorter primer of sorts to show how to riot as an individual? This could be very handy for future movements. We may be onto something here.
Oliver Cruz
I've considered stuff like that, actually. A serious contender in my opinion would be something like various decayed and rancid fats. Just heat it up for a while in sunlight and wait.
If you wanted to have a nuke button, there's thioacetone, a chemical that smells so bad that a few drops have cleared out entire cities with people vomiting and passing out but is otherwise harmless.
Brandon Wilson
shit, this is real. someone could do major mischief with a thing like that.
Joseph Morgan
It's actually almost horribly hilarious how bad it is.
Joseph Butler
Handcuff yourselves in ever growing circles. (Inside circle is 3, next circle is 5, grow according to how many people you have) Cuff the circles together. You have an indomitable wall of people that can not be broken or taken off one by one.

This might be a little more accessible

Tbh stinking up cops is a really good idea. If it's bad enough they'll probably have to leave their posts, and the media can't seriously paint rioters as "radicals" if they're known to instigate violence thru grade school pranks.
Leo Evans
Maybe. I think rancid fat might be a very good solution though. If your group is already cooking food there then all it takes is collecting fat drippings and keeping it over heat for a few hours. Anyone who's worked in fast food can tell you just how bad that shit can smell.
Leo Wilson
I think stink based chemical weapons will be a great way to stake their morale right through the heart. If the guy next to you smells like the devil's asscrack then it's going to be difficult to hold formation. Also, a lot of rito cops use minimal air filtration, a cloth over the mouth and nose at most.
Secondly: have your guys use gas/filter masks as well as goggles, tear and CS gas is a bitch, so being able to stand up to it will be a great boon.
Also, molotovs are alright but you'll need a lot of them. Their body armor is well insulated and polycarbonate shields hard counter them. make the indendiary mixture more sticky and slower burning (Guar gum works well)
Also consider mixing ethanol or petrol with liquid glues, then seal tightly in an airtight container, essentially poor man's napalm.
Jack Howard
bring paint, in spray cans, water balloons, bottles in the can, whatever. cover the riot cops visors (if they aren't wearing visors use the paint anyway since you'll blind them). They cant see shit if their visors and shields are covered in paint, unless they ditch them it which case they just ditched some of their most important protection. The spray cans and balloons are best since they can be used to cover the cops without covering you, which would make you more vulnerable to being identified.

Have them being supported by US. Worked like a charm for Cuckrainians.
Tyler Mitchell
Painting the cops means approaching them, therefore melee.
Wyatt Flores
you put the pain in a fire extinguisher
but of course a trot wouldn't kno that :/
Ryder Moore
Because everyone has means to fill fire extinguishers with pressurized gas.
Why not just get a tank in your fantasy world?
Ian Wilson
because as anarchists er are against tankies :/
Cooper Powell
That's what the water balloons are for retard.
