It's basically like the Wilderness first aid course I took once, but with an emphasis on how to help folks deal with the various chemical weapons that the state uses.

I've been pepper sprayed- it's not so bad.

But I expect it won't be the last time.

I am rather frighted of the idea that there could come a time when the state apparatus won't simply use less-lethal force, because I and a lot of folks are only non-violent because of choice and not capacity and I don't think it would go the way a lot of the fantasies of the III% assholes think it would.

Anyhow, I live in the sticks and am able to find the community of folks who are already at a point of non-compliance phase and who have been willing to suffer physical harm for it.

There are, I understand, a whole lot more folks in cities who feel similarly.

If they bring the situation the point you're describing, please rest assured that it won't be you engaging folks by yourself but you engaging them with your community.

Seek out that community while it's still easy enough that it seems like a wingnut kind of thing to do.
