Don't do it alone, but if done in an organized way it's a real deterrent to the cops violently escalating against the protest
Yeah the point is that they wouldn't even be pepper spraying a random woman for this one dude to intervene and get shot if there were 10 people from an org with rifles at the event. If one dude from the org got in an altercation while being innocent the whole org is likely to light em up, they simply wouldn't take actions that has potential to cause a clash with the org.
Turns out, even if you have guns, other people with guns are scary. Especially when you have the physical option to just leave
