13. I'm a big fan of the 1960's sit-in. It's a great tactic.

When the protesters immediately sit down at the first hint of police violence, it exposes the perpetrators. They're the only ones standing, so it's pretty clear who is creating the situation.

When you stand and hold big protest signs, it obscures the crimes being committed.

The problem is that sitting requires a lot of discipline. Not sure if people can follow through with that.
