I also recommend putting padding of some sort where your arm is going to go, or your elbow, wrist, and knuckles are going to get fucked up.

Also, take some pleather or something and glue it on. Stretch it over the front and around the edges folding over the back about 2". This will actually add strength to the shield.

@Nathaniel WI Talk to your leadership. We sent out packets of information to all group leaders in order to get everyone on the same page for the event's security plan. Read the Primer I posted above as well.

Yo Guderian

Hi

I'll pay you 25 plus cost of materials to make me a shield

35*

We will also be putting out a video for basic formations, roles, and commands to all of the group leaders shortly.

@I'm Not Sam Hyde I already have two extra sheets, I'll just make you one.

Just get your measurements to me

I'll let you do the straps yourself.

Shoulder width and shoulder to knee length.

Unless you know how you want your straps already, I can throw those on as well.

Alright

I'll talk to you this evening

It's going to be heavy also. It's 3/4" oakwood plywood.

Good

Do we have 36" rattan flagpoles?

I mean

We can

:^)

@Heinz - MI Good training this weekend borther

We should put together some extra shields

That's probably a good idea.

@I'm Not Sam Hyde thank you for the tip. Yes I read that jpeg about building the shield and basic formations. I was concerned about getting my teeth knocked out to be honest. I'll follow up with these changes. Yeah I'm a little concerned with how wild things are going to get. Should be one hell of a show

No problem bub!

I'll buy a shield

We might have loaners

@Baker is going to be the liaison for the LS PSD.

@Heinz - MI

@greg-ky buy a mouthguard

Mouthguards and helmets should be the absolute bare minimum of ppe you bring.

MG, helmet, and shield would be better yet

@everyone I talked to the police captain that is in charge of all the police pieces on the ground. She (yes) is very professional amd is taking this very seriously. She has a proposal for how CPD is going to set up that she is going to send me a map of. She is going to want to communicate directly with @Heinz - MI regarding security of the event as a whole. I gave her a basic idea of how I expect his guys will be operating amd what their role will be. I gave her a run down of the ROE that Im putting out for everyone. I will have more to put out tomorrow after i have the map of her proposed set up.

Awesome!

Also, we are working out arrangements for the individual security teams. There will either be a secured, designated drop off point, or they will have a secured location to park vehicles. This hasnt been conpletely worked out yet, but Im expecting the finished product to be effective.

@everyone

I've been getting hundreds of threats from black twitter the past few days, I'm wondering if I should come after all? I'm worried about being recognized before I get to you guys. We had planned to park and take a bus into the city center but my husband has to split up and take the kids somewhere away from the event so I will be alone between then and when I get to y'all.

I'm sure we can get some gentlemen to escort you if need be, you'll be in good company, Black Twitter is just trying to scare you from coming.
