I'm not sure about Berlin but I heard that Bavaria is frequently called Polizei Staat with a lot of policemen in civil clothing on Munich streets, care to comment on how it compares to Berlin?
- mschuster91 10y agotl;dr: Berlin cops hate left-wing activists with a passion, but ignore "casual law breaking", Munich cops are not very violent but very pedantic otherwise. Berlin is anarchy, police brutality and power abuse at its finest - I'm interested what the result of the Rigaer 94 rally in 20h will be. Munich cops don't engage in open violence, esp. not plain-clothes officers, but they do fuck you over for smoking weed, crossing a red light as pedestrian or riding a bicycle on Marienplatz with no mercy. That is what is meant with "Polizeistaat".
- pjlegato 10y ago> Berlin is anarchy Perhaps you could gain some perspective by traveling in Somalia for a few weeks. Berlin is nowhere close to "anarchy"; this is absurd hyperbole that simply weakens your overall argument.
