- konha 4y agoIn Germany? “Some people in the crowd started to mask their faces“ is THE excuse for authorities to stop protests. You cannot seriously argue this doesn’t happen at e.g. 1st of May protests.
- eru 4y agoWell, if protestors are engaging in illegal activities, they should be stopped. [0] And putting on masks to obscure your face is illegal in protests in Germany. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermummungsverbot https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermummungsverbot [0] I mean that in a legal sense, that's how the police works. Whether stopping the protest is morally the right thing to do or not is a different issue that I don't want to address here.
- konha 4y agoI don’t disagree. Parent said it doesn’t happen, that’s what I commented on.
- formerly_proven 4y agoIf you think German police(*) of all police forces goes easy on lefties you are completely delusional. (*) The generalization is okay in this context, because behavior is pretty uniform and larger protests will have riot police pulled from other states anyway.
