So apparently riot shields are made of polycarbonate. For educational purposes here is an interesting chemical compatibility list
For the sake of sanity, all of those incompatible chemicals are accelerants and most are toxic, this is a good way to start with a cheeky idea of how to fight back relatively harmlessly and end with a massive felony conviction for attempted murder of an officer.
if you do basically any fighting, so much as throwing a rock or spraying paint, you're in 'fugitive for life' or 'make sure nobody ever finds out it was you' territory. there's only like two levels of escalation higher than that, and you need to blow up a bunch of shit+be muslim, or nonviolently unite diverse groups to common communal goals, assuming you want to reach those.
