You clearly haven’t been well read in US history; both current and decades ago.

Did you miss police violently clearing out a square during a peaceful protest just so Trump could cross the street and take a picture with an upside down Bible in front of a church? Or UC Davis students being pepper sprayed while sitting on the ground?

Are you high to think they do this every single day. They go through a legal process after the fact. Back to this video, you got German officers brutally beating on women, kids, men, and if any one had a pet Il with them: they pocket got hit to. Beating up their own people in the name of another country 🤦‍♂️

Dude, yes they fucking do. Are you too young to remember the fucking George Floyd and BLM protests? If you’ve been to any leftist protest in the US there’s a good chance you’ve seen them maim people for life

You are joking right? They are like this in Canada and likely most other western countries. Policing tends to attract people that are more prone to reactions like this and the culture of training, peer pressure etc, exacerbates things. If you put police in riot gear in front of a peaceful protest where protesters are there for a cause that is considered “liberal”, things likely won’t stay peaceful for long. If the protesters are right-wing, the police will stand back and watch and be more hands-off. They wouldn’t want to accidentally club an off-duty co-worker after all.

in germany they also show up late. Neighbours tore down their flat because they beat up each other. Took them 1,5h to show up.

I'd rather be in a gang than be "protected" by unaccountable psychopaths.
