Wow that’s a low bar for violence. I expect all contact sports to be banned before the weekend.
Contact sports are consensual. Throwing bottles at police and burning stuff in the street isn’t.
The translation is off, “gewaltbereit” doesn’t mean violent, but more something along the lines of “willing/ready to do violence”
Fun fact: Being carried away doing absolutly nothing (litteraly, with that being the reason you are carried away) already counts as violence against the police in the german crime statistics
Seem too much. I not know, what violence she do before?
She was part of a relativly small protest in Berlin, in which some started throwing glass bottles on the police, burned a bunch of trash cans and threw some liquid on a tv team near the protests.
Some started, aftervthe police stormed into the protest violently to do arbitrary arrests.
since a few month at the protests in Berlin it is normal for multiple people to be injured so severly, that they need an ambulance, people to be choked unconscious by police, police denying access for doctors to injured people, police randomly hitting, shoving, kicking people and of course beating people up that are arrested.
All of these are documented on video. The police deliberately escalates to violence, while present press from pro zionist, racist media outlets like Axel Springer or Tagesspiegel conveniently ignore the police violence to paint the protests as aggressive afterwards.
Oh amd plus points for the police to target teenagers and women, to ensure people to get aggressive, when they see grown men violently attacking boys and girls. weighing half of their weight.
If you want to show police violence, it is incredibly important for the protest not get violent itself. Thunberg being part of it, meant more media then normal and 400 protestors is low enough for everybody to stay on message.
I don’t think she was violent herself. The protest was small with about 400 people though. So she knows her comrades.
The press release was changed in the meantime: https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/polizei-dortmund-greta-gewaltbereit-100.html
