Shoot first, because they're just going to lie about it anyway?

No. Nobody said show up and open fire on every cop you see. Being the instigator will not help anyone.

Show up, present arms to demonstrate that you can and will defend yourself and your fellow protestors should the cops chose to escalate as they have repeatedly done in the past, and proceed to march peacefully until/unless you are attacked. Then, defend yourself as necessary, taking care to not cross the line from defence to aggressor.

Note, I'd recommend some form of body camera as you will almost certainly have to defend your use of force in court later.
