They know nothing about NYC cops. STFU is free? "Whatever would need to be done" = Vague + menacing "how much are they gonna do this before we defend ourselves?" Who's "We"? I recount dangerous real event. Say aggression gets big charges. "protesters [shouldn't] play nice" What if you're dead?

NYC cops can be quite violent toward protesters. I've seen them deliberately run over people with horses. I jumped onto the hood of a car to get out of harm's way. Others weren't so lucky.

Anything  construed as physical defense will be taken as aggression. Resulting in serious charges.

Seems to me like they aren't waiting for the protesters to be aggressive back. At some point, the protesters will realize they can't get anywhere by plating nice. Serious charges mean nothing to the dead.

an absolute dipshit. what are protestors supposed to do, exactly, when NYPD is known for being eager and willing to bash heads, run people over with bikes and CARS, etc?

I don't like the tenor of this. Stranger stops by to try to induce me to agree "we" need to "defend ourselves" doing "Whatever would need to be done." We can't just "play nice." Boo, don't worry about dumb old "charges." Psht! Won't matter when you're dead. Me: You're a hot mess. No one is dead.

Now you are being very mixed up.

NYC police have not killed any street protesters lately AFAIK.

What actions do you suggest they take?

Forgive me if I'm not too excited for this "ask nicely until we are executed" strategy.

The first actions the protesters should take is to get better organized(something they're likely doing already), including getting shields of their own and splitting into smaller groups, imo
