    Like people who always jump to say this in such posts: we don’t know the context. And it’s true that we don’t know the immediate context. But we do know the wider context. This forceful suppression of pro-Palestinian speech is consistent with the concerns repeatedly expressed by multiple human rights organizations about the systemic biases of the German state.

    To make a slightly distasteful analogy: if this was a video of ICE agents arresting a Latino person at a protest outside a detention center, sure we would not have the context of that person’s actual immigration status. But we do have the wider context of a systematic crackdown on Latinos by ICE.

    Do you want to actually defend the honour of German police? Organize and push politically for systemic change. Otherwise, your pearl clutching about “context” will only read as complicity to the systemic issues.

    Something happened before this video starts. The cops likely had a reason to arrest that young woman. The cops are walking away from the crowd continuously and don’t attack it.

    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.

      In what kind of wonderland do you live, where fair trials with the cops as other side exist?

      My guy tried to be reasonable with pro-palestine crowd and got drowned in downvotes.

      Well deserved I think, here in europe we support such ideas as Islam, killing all jews and beheading kafirs! Inshallah!

      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.
