4. Forgot this one talk to a defense lawyer and a trusted police officer in your jurisdiction on what constitutes self defense. Some places have a 'stand your ground' law, some don't. Some say who ever hits whom first is guilty. What constitutes proper warning? Fear for your physical safety? Also, immediately send any video to someone you trust. There are shady cops out there who will delete your video.5. If possible, have a lawyer on retainer. An amount that will get him or her out of bed at any time to come to the station if you are arrested. You shut up obviously until he or she comes. Once cops know you have a lawyer like that, they walk on eggshells.6. Sue the f*ck out of any aggressor. Just don't let it go. Someone told me this years ago and I stand by it. "Do not let practicing white supremacy go unpunished'. Even if you don't win. If enough black folks file lawsuits like 'certain' people who do who will go un-named, they will eventually slow down (not stop but slow down) harassment of black people.
