1. Be polite and respectful whenever possible – it never hurts to be friendly!
2. Follow the police officers' instructions and obey the law, even when you may disagree with them
3. Keep your hands visible at all times so that police officers can see them clearly
4. Do not move forward or make any sudden movements – cooperate and follow instructions slowly and steadily
5. Avoid wearing clothing or symbols that could provoke a negative response from law enforcement 
6. Ask questions if you are unclear about an order given to you or your group – always ask politely so as not to escalate tensions 
7. Remain calm at all times, as escalating the situation may only make it worse  Last but not least, remember – peaceful protest is an important right guaranteed by our laws - it should never be silenced! Please keep those rights in mind if ever faced with police conflict while demonstrating in public!

When attending a public rally, there are several things you can do to avoid potential conflicts with police officers. Before the rally begins, familiarize yourself with the laws regarding protesting and know your rights. During the rally, stay out of officers' way and do not interfere with police orders or any law enforcement activities. Follow all verbal instructions that officers give and maintain an open-mind to their concerns. Be respectful of both citizens and police alike. Lastly, do not physically resist even if you believe your rights are being violated – peaceful dissent is always advised!
