' Grant Park, Chicago.
He stated that during the week prior to the DNC the

my teaching them how to prtoect themselves from gas attack,
how to stop bleeding, and how to cam & broken bones. They
were told there would be medical people present to help those
injured during the DNC and they had first aide centers set up
throughout the city, one of which was close to the Amphitheater.
They were taught non-violent self-defense. They were
told to do wht they wanted to a policeman and then fall to his
feet and leave it to his morality as to what he would do to
“you. He could not recall who made that statement.
The National Mcbilization Committee had legal
principle classes. They were told who to contact for help, who
to call in case they were arrested, and were advised to be
sure and get the badge number of a policeman if arrested.
On one day, early in the week of the DNC,
BOBBY SEALE spoke in Lincoln Brk and was very emphatic in his
speech. He told the crowd "Go home and get your guns, be
revolutionary and barbeque a pis. He said that "If you are
going to be a revolutionist, be one and die for it".

they were going to march out of theré because their request to
march had been turned down. He said he would lead a peaceful
march attempting to go to the Amphitheater.
