TACTICS

If we could figure out the route of police transport busses, here's what we could do:

1) Identify an intersection that is approximately one-third of the distance between the mass arrest location and the bus destination. I think that distance is the best because it is probably a good distance from where the arrest is, but not too far for some of the cops to leave the arrest and go to the bus.

2) As soon as the bus gets to that intersection, a group bursts in front of it and blocks it. Soon after that, other demonstrators block the back and a few block the sides.

3) Have someone phone either in the bus or in the bus blockade make a phone call to a protestor at the mass arrest location and inform them that the bus has been successfully stopped. Imagine the joy and encouragement that the protestors will feel when they hear the good news!

We really need to make a website that contains all sorts of tactics and strategies on simulated city areas (not a city-specific website, but one that will benefit those in SF, LA, NY, DC, Portland, anywhere!).

Use aerial views of individual intersections and then also of wider areas that encompass several intersections (up to 40), with various tactics and possibilities for shutting down individual intersections with means of escape if necessary.
