You need to absolutely out number the police and have enough trigger discipline NOT to fire first. Otherwise the armed protesters would just be put down and the cops would control the narrative. Look at the 60's era Black Panther armed protests. They had enough guns that the cops weren't interested in escalating.

Scared white people so bad they passed gun control laws

Or be fascist, because they just escort armed fascists. Cops firing on fascists is just friendly fire.
