We have our own intel element on the ground but I still found some interesting reading on the protests at the RNC. Forward Observer is a blog run by a former intel guy and he has some pretty interesting topics that can be of use regarding intel, networking, comms, etc. They've been running an open source intel op they call OP North Coast.

Convention re-cap through 19 July. Through Tuesday, the protests have been milder than expected. There have only been five arrests through Tuesday night; three of those coming on Tuesday. Could or should there have been more arrests? Certainly with all the criminal activity we observed yesterday. In some instances, there’s been a greater presence of law enforcement than protestors. There is a possibility that protests become more unruly as the week goes on and gets closer to the weekend, however, given what we’ve seen so far, we have tempered expectations. We can’t rule out the possibility, however, that a single action from an agitator sparks a greater amount of unrest leading to violence.
