Tactics Note: Locking arms is not, was not, & will not ever be an effective way to stop mass arrest by itself.
That's not to say it doesn't have use. But if you want to stop a kettle you have some options I will go over below.
So let's talk about it.
A thread 🧵(1/?)
Hundreds showed up to protest
@WashU

amid the war in Gaza today.
Now, as

documents, mass arrests have begun by campus and local police. Stay tuned to

(2/?) Defense Options
When stopping a kettle, you have to understand what is at your disposal.
So we are going to separate this into a number of scenarios.
First up, let's talk about location Defense with inferior numbers.
2
146
2K
(3/?)
If you are staging a Defense & you have inferior numbers, keep in mind that does not equal a loss, it means adaptation. If you are surrounded & have shields, you can form a shield circle & maneuver as a group to a vantage point that will make the encirclement weaker.

Warhammer is literally a satire of Fascism, it was *always* left wing.
Grimdark exists to critique the worst aspects of society, its darkest and most cruel logics, by exaggerating them to their greatest extremes.
Your wargame was always Leftist. You're just incapable of nuance.
I would rather see 40K and all my other favorite franchises/IPs die a thousand deaths than kowtow and pander to the regressive left and the mind rot they carry with them

(4/?) Alternatively, using the same scenario you can pick a single spot in a tightened encirclement & attack it to break the kettle.
Once a hole is formed, you rush through it with shields protecting the inner group who's collective weight provides the force necessary to escape.
1
119
2K
(5/?) You have to keep forcing the hole more & more open to keep the pigs from closing it back up and encircling your allies behind you.
If you lack shields this is *much* harder but the basic tactic is the same. It may just require more active dearrest maneuvers during it.
1
111
2K
(8/?)
If you out number the police, especially if you have shields, barricades, or reinforced banners, you can-and should If circumstances provide- kettle the police instead.
Surround & form an encirclement, with interlocked shields, & press them into a circle.
4
174
2K
(6/?) If you are not defending a single spot & see a kettle forming, you may attempt to "be water" or flow throughout the battlezone to avoid being trapped.
Remember, the police can't kettle you if you don't give them a location to stage a kettling formation.

(7/?)
If you aren't endangered of being kettled but are instead being sieged in a building, locate the entrances & barricade them first.
Your best bet of surviving that scenario is to have allies outside of the siege to encircle the police. Speaking of which...

(11/11) If you have projectile units you can even perform a double envelopment.
Uses these tactics are your pleasure. To defeat the pigs we have to learn mass combat tactics & how to handle urban siege warfare.
2
102
2K
(10/?) Once this happens, empty the back line and have them surround the sides of your own formation and then perform a full encirclement.
This maneuver turns a retreating shield wall into a trap, Hannibal Barca in the Battle of Cannae style.
3
95
1K
(9/?) That's just the basic tactic. If the pigs charge a force of superior numbers, you can allow the center of your formation to enact a coordinated retreat and move the outer ranks to the side. This forces the enemy into a U shaped center, like filling a bowl.

This is why you always wear a mask.
Bloc up. The university can't suspend students they don't know where at a protest. The cops can't charge a person they can't arrest & don't have on camera.
Bloc needs to be standard. Doesn't always need to be black bloc, but Grey bloc works

Their IDs have already been deactivated.

And remember to think 2 or 3 maneuvers ahead!
Breaking a kettle and immediately using the chaos to counter-kettle requires a lot of coordination but is extremely effective & can leave the pigs at a complete loss as you turn the situation 180° on them

Nonviolence is why the Left never wins.
If you want to defeat the state, or corporations, or stop projects, or force one's to be opened, etc you are going to inevitably be faced with the police.
To win your cause, you need a power which can overwhelm theirs.

I'm glad folks are taking note of siege tactics.
But keep in mind something:
In the long run, you WILL lose a siege if your supply chain is compromised. You NEED logistics.
Your biggest enemy is food, water, medicine, not the cops. If they can't remove you, they will starve you
