You're not aware of Tonight We Riot???

Cops literally build cities in which to train on how to crush protest.

Having a low risk, low investment way for people to learn how to counter police tactics would be excellent. An engaging game could play a small role in preparing people for protest before they even become politically active and normalize it.

I can imagine a Lemmings-like where you have to organize specific people to direct and manage the crowd for different objectives, while still trying to keep as many people out of cop custody

I remember a beat em up from 2002 called State of Emergency where you rioted although it was incredibly arcadey, you also could play as someone who was basically B Real from Cypress Hill because y'know, game from 2002.

There’s also RIOT: Civil Unrest : https://store.steampowered.com/app/342310/RIOT_Civil_Unrest/

I think that's a good idea.
