Police intervention at demo against the surveillance state - "The police command, which initially had 450 officers present, defended the use of force after half of the distance covered with the argument that there had been numerous violations of regulations, such as against the height and width of the permitted transparents and against the ban on covering faces, 'in relation to the entire history'. In addition, radicals had already caused 'evil destruction' at tables and chairs of the luxury hotel Adlon during pre-checks of bags." - great de-escalation strategy and very appropriate for the topic, right? Does anyone need a bucket of sarcasm?
