There is literally no legal reason for a policeman to punch a protestor
Well, actually there is in a self-defense scenario.
So the question of the thread starter is legit: what happened in the seconds before the punch?
Video cutting looks very selective to me. Ragebait instead of solid police violence documentation one could work with...
Police is required to use the minimum necessary force to an eminent attack . There is no way you can convince me that the punch was the right actions. Simply restraining her would have worked
And without context we will never know if this is the case or not.
I read the reports on the event. This in general has not been a peaceful anti-war demonstration. There have been attacks on policemen, one got hurt.
The video could be connected to that.
And without further context and the deliberate video cutting, every relevant party (meaning press and state prosecutor) will assume that.
So: Where is the full video, so that this action may have actual consequences?
You can easily know when a video is off. With you same dumb logic, we don't have context about why the policeman was hurt. There is justification to punch the protestor just like there is no justification for that policeman to be hurt. I always hear about that context bs only when it comes to gaza and when a context is provided showing the anti genocide person is not at fault. No excuses are provided and the people like you vanish
Part of the problems is, they have not been anti-genocide persons. The date of demonstration might give a hint what they have been celebrating instead.
An actual anti-genocide demo a few days later would not have been forbidden in the first place and also would have had a positive effect.
This demonstration as it was organized and happened on the other hand was a real field day for right-wing media and significantly fueled anti-palestinian ressentiments.
I hate that.
You country is famous for police brutality and support for the settler colonialism in Palestine. It is sad that you are in complete denial . Those guys are definitely anti genocide and you are definitely a facism supporter
Maybe decorating the announcement flyers for an october 7th event with pictures of paragliders doesn't give anti-genocide-vibes to most people...
And this has nothing to do with fascism.
Despite being not fond of this particular event, I am actively trying to find enough evidence to perhaps prosecute this policeman's actions.
What are you doing to actually help here?
You can't discredit a whole protest because of just some extremists. Your country should focus on the rise of neo-Nazis rather than anti occupation and genocide people
Problem is, these topics are connected, being that muslims are prime target for nazis. And stuff like this particular event will gain them additional support in the broader population.
And this makes me furious.
Also I don't assume the protesters to be dumb.
Going to a forbidden demonstration on octobre 7th... they knew exactly what they signed up for.
Nice victim blaming. Should we also bad pro israel protests in everyday that israel oppressed and killed palestinian civilians
There are no Pro-Israel protests (that I know of).
Perhaps something to think about.
Exactly!
The large public majority in Germany is already on the side of the people in Gaza (read sth. about ~80%).
Only government is still reacting sluggish to that.
So I am really annoyed at such harebrained stuff like that celebration of the terrorist attacks in Berlin, as this is risking loosing that public support again.
bruh did they delete their comments for loosing an internet argument?
