    Parsnip's Guide to Reporting Street Harassment by Nat'l Guard Troops

    OK, I haven't tried this yet, but my sources suggest this is the best way to proceed.

    Step 0: video is best, if you can get the incident itself that is ideal.

    Step 1: in order to report an asshole, you need to know who the asshole is and who they belong to. Capture LEFT shoulder patches and name tapes. That patch will tell you what State, and for ex your local Reddit forum may be able to tell you which city they

    are out of.

    Step 2: before you do *anything* else obscure the victim's identifying details and double check you got everything.

    Step 3: having narrowed down the unit as much as possible, search for contact info for that Guard unit's Commanding Officer or Public Affairs Officer, and fill them in asap. Be as neutral, professional, and So Disappointed as poss in your delivery. In normal times this kind of report is usually highly effective at making their life hard, still worth a try now.

    or, Step Alt 3: *targeted* social media name and shame. Post on Twitter/Insta/FB and tag the unit (again, as closely as you could ID, maybe you only got the State? try anyway) or stick it in a widely followed group like FB's U.S. Army WTF! Moments.

    Step 4: remember that although making street harasser's lives hard is satisfying and important, this does not directly heal the person who was harassed. Are they alone? Offer to walk with them. Do you know them? Provide a listening ear. Etc.
