Avoid, if you can, thugs in any sort of costume. Given that there are so many of them, it is difficult, but do the best you can. The young ladies in my life have been a carrying a gun for some time. Not always the answer, since they anyone can get the drop on you, but it is a place to start.
A pity that the police will have to watch their backs, but I understand that they have brought it on themselves to a large degree. I would imagine that the number of cops blow away by a demographic
that they traditionally think worship them will increase, which will obviously increase their paranoia. Impossible now to thin the herd from the police point of view, based on race or the economic group that their enemies traditionally belong to. I haven't ever had to interact with them since I am white, middle aged and can afford a good attorney. Might change soon.
