Too conspicuous? The idea is to let them know we’re here, we’re pissed off, and we’re prepared to fight for what we demand. Why are you trying to go unnoticed in what’s supposed to be an overt display of unity?

If you have the gear to withstand their tools, you should be obvious about it. You’ll become a target and draw their fire away from those who are more vulnerable. If you’re not willing to take a hit, give your gear to someone who is, take your signal whistle, position yourself at the back of the crowd, and keep watch for flankers.
