Not to express support for the cops in any way, but for a bit of context: Publicly insulting a person is a crime in Germany. The old guy here did give the cops a great excuse to arrest him.
No, not really. Arrest is only allowed under certain circumstances, and acting violently has even higher burdens (in the law at least). The proportions have to be maintained, too. And acting this violently is not proportional to a minor insult.
Arrest is only allowed under certain circumstances
Indeed, but one of those circumstances is being caught in the act of comitting a crime, as was the case here.
The proportions have to be maintained, too.
True, the method used could well have been out of proportion. But he shouldn’t be surprised to have been arrested, that would have happened at any demonstration if you decide to insult a cop.
Fascist scum
the urge to take that gun and just…Oh, those sweet defenders of the “oppressed”… You only see violence somewhere else - not in what you do (or suggest doing).
Hamas salutes you! 💁
The part I’d actually suggest is touching the pig at his gun or faking it. The part of actually snatching it and running like hell is reserved to those being anonymous. And actually shooting is the last resort, probably when they already have their guns drawn.
Do wish to die a pointless death and paint pro palestine protests as violent terrorists?
What is the problem here? People stepping over boundaries will get arrested, simple as that. After the arrest there will be a fair trial and the case will get resolved.
If the police were HAMAS we would have seen two public executions as terrorists are not so well versed in human rights and fair trials.
No they wont? Germany is legendarily shit at persecuting police violence.
And the second paragraph you can shove up your ass. Nothing excuses genocide.
@Juggernaut91
The police were most certainly overstepping their judgement call for violence when arresting the elderly man.
Insulting someone is against the law here, but the cop appeared to have used it as an excuse for corporeal punishment, which is most certainly not his call.
