The once-growing movement appears to be laying low following the arrests of two of their leaders.

Sounds like they should be bringing some kind of self defense tool to their protests.

Then there’s pretext, and the leftists get painted as thugs - appropriate targets for more aggressive crackdowns.

It’s a lose-lose, but protesters will almost never benefit by responding to police brutality with an armed response. Counter-protests are generally a lesser problem.

The boot will get tired of getting blood on it eventually.
