ANTIFA IS ORGANIZING AND ATTEMPTING TO LEARN GROUP TACTICS
I think its time to establish some sense of intelligence training for those of us going to protests. Antifa realized not only that they can't win if they're unorganized, but that they are easily outgunned on an equal footing.
One of the first things Sun Tzu establishes in his book is to never enter a battle you can't win and to never prevent an enemy from making a mistake. I believe we are making a grave mistake by not using a lot of our skills to our full advantage.
First and foremost, I know a damn near lot of us played counterstrike. There is a clear pattern in call out designations–that is to say, things that constitute a long road is called long. Calling out antifa numbers, size of people and gender over walkie talkie is very important for group rotations. Other factors is to give the impression that there is more of you than there is of them. When Antifa was using m80s against people, it was retarded. But imagine someone throwing a few of those down during that smoke bomb scene. It would have had an entirely different outcome. It could have been a gunshot. Or a grenade. Anything to give you the ability to retreat and regroup. Antifa has only its strength when it isolates a person, so its important to memorize the landmarks and their callsigns. If you're going to enter a street, memorize the nearest intersection etc. Keep the channel clear and don't use it to talk all jolly like, doing so will risk having you mishear a friend in danger. When in danger, list a guestimate of how many, where you are, followed by any important details like weapons.
You can buy a walkie talkie here, though I'm sure there are better deals. Naturally you want to get the one that best suits you. As well, there will be times when the police start jamming walkie talkies. Just to be aware.

Its very important to only move as a group and to retreat when outnumbered.
Remembering things like proper stance, group formation and the location of your members is strategically important. if you have someone recording information with one of these listed here

GROUP MOVEMENTS
Even on the offensive, appear defensive. That is to say that unless there is a clear and present danger (EG:the police fucking leaving), do not engage them until you believe you have no other choice. You are being recorded. You wont have trouble. Watch how stickman engages them. Watch how he walks away until he absolutely can't.
Next, do not under any circumstances use a gun. Watch this video. This man was convicted and faces up to 50 years in jail for doing this.

He was in full legal right to do so. They don't care. 50 years. You know what else? So were the boys from /k/, who also pulled a gun. So it is safe to assume that guns cannot be applicable in these situations. As sad as it seems.
Practice proper stance when fighting. It matters. All of this matters and you need to practice it.
Follow this guide and practice your punches on punching bags. You'll soon realize that it hurts like hell to improperly punch something, you'll sprain your wrist if you're not careful. So its important to practice. Practice things like punches, different ways of hitting people and different combinations. Practice kicking. Practice movements that leave you the least exposed.

Camera thread summery
user was showing us a way to bypass the bandpass filter that usually only permits visible wavelengths from being displayed. This allows us to see through clothing because our bodies naturally emit IR light. The anons in the thread were recommending also using a infrared flashlight to get a good still of antifa. I highly recommend it.
