How to Survive Anti-Police Protests by Shane Burley is an appropriate primer for demo beginner.
The Black Flag Catalyst Revolt Guide by Black Flag Catalyst is a more detailed guide on protest tactics.
If you are interested in studying crowd control tactics in demo. Here are the resources: The Master's Tools and Warrior Crowd Control & Riot Manual

This is an outstanding list of resources. Thanks so much for posting. I wish more people would engage with stuff like this instead of clutching their liberal pearls. The Nepalese showed how to actually protest a corrupt government. All power to the people.
Riot Medicine is an incredible resource and even I could make sense of it as a full-time idiot. Crimethinc are the poets of a generation who few people seem to know about despite being around for many years, and of course the Anarchist Library is one of the great online resources. Shout out to Serafinski.
