Conflicts Stay between conflicts or confrontations and the marchers. Keep the march moving. Your back should generally be toward the conflict while quietly urging others to keep moving and not to join the conflict. Let the conflict fizzle out. You do not need to be a hero and interpose yourself.
Most people resent that action.
Do not run toward conflicts. Move quickly but quietly toward the conflict if you can help isolate it. It's only a conflict. Urge people to stay back from the arrest. Be sure to keep a non-threatening distance from the arrest and do not interfere.
