Protestors using slings, defending themselves against tear gas

There are so many games about guns, it would be fun to have one really exploring non-lethal weapons

    Cops literally build cities in which to train on how to crush protest.

    Having a low risk, low investment way for people to learn how to counter police tactics would be excellent. An engaging game could play a small role in preparing people for protest before they even become politically active and normalize it.

      An amazing but rarely used strategy is to split the protests into several smaller areas. It’s way harder to kettle smaller groups, especially if the cops are split between 4+ locations.
