It’s crazy how this makes headlines around the world, yet we’ve had cops behave ten times worse with protesters here in Germany and it never leaves fringe news outlets. Not even one big German news outlet explicitly talks about such cases happening here. It feels like I’m living in a dystopian future.

Do you have any news articles (even local ones in German) to share regarding that? Would be interested in reading.

Just a ton of videos of police violence taken at protests and posted in activist groups on Instagram. I’ll drop you some links to them here.

Most of these videos are from a few days ago. Oldest one is from three weeks ago. Honestly they’re all scattered all throughout my gallery, so here are just the few last ones I’ve gotten. This has been ongoing since last year.

Here you can see a police officer repeatedly hitting a protester that’s already on the ground. Remember that cops have gloves with their knuckles covered in hard plastic.

There’s also this one from the same event with cops pummeling protesters that are on the ground with fists and jumping on them with their knees. www.instagram.com/reel/C6PSMzaxwUp

Here is one with a cop hitting a woman directly in the face, again, with hard gloves. Also of cops almost breaking a man’s arm while on the ground. www.instagram.com/reel/C7Ji4JGM6Ta/

Here are some of cops spraying people with pepper spray at extremely close distance. www.instagram.com/reel/C7H4E3OMGUW/ www.instagram.com/reel/C7HjvAzMHEM/

There was also one with a cop on top of a woman pummeling her with his fists. I’ll keep looking for it and update the comment when I find it. Remember that these happened over the last few days. This has been ongoing for many months now and there are many horrible examples of this happening. There are also the many pictures and videos of police officers holding protesters from the back while completely covering their eyes and mouths from behind. This is inhumane. Also most of these situations are easily avoidable, but cops are more trigger happy at some protests than at others for some reason. It seems like they’ve been let off the leash to escalate these situations to the extreme.

Many reports of activists with broken noses, arms, or legs coming out of here. It also doesn’t help that in Germany the chances of successfully suing a cop are close to zero.

There’s also a video of them attacking a visibly pregnant foreign woman.

There have also been reports by irish protesters being followed around by police, so they had to seek shelter in a local coffee store until the cops got bored and left. Apparently a tactic is to follow them around until they break up in smaller groups and then violently arrest them.
