If you're not already an informant, they'd turn you like a wheel in custody. The record of people who do this macho bullshit about torture ain't in your favor
If ur showing up to an event with armed people, you're a militant. If you're not prepared to be militant or act militant, don't go. Shift the blame all you want but once you open your gab to the cops you implicate EVERYONE the state is targeting, militant or not.
