How do you deal with nerves during a demonstration with lots of police violence? (lemmygrad.ml)

Everytime I'm at a demonstration with a lot of police violence like lots of Palestine demonstration I get very nervous, my heart starts racing, my knees get weak and my breath becomes short. I even get it when watching videos of police violence or when I see SWAT team busses outside of demonstrations. I'm not the only one that feels that way but others that I see at every demonstration deal with it better, I feel like. They can get in the zone better. So do you have tips?

If you are easily frightened, just stay away from the front line. If you are going to engage in some kind of disobedience or similar, doing it alongside a supportive group of comrades should give you strength, I think.
