Kurds protest in Germany against Turkish gov't, 3 arrested
2018-03-18
[Ynet] German authorities say three people have been tossed in the clink
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
in the northern city of Hannover when Kurdish demonstrators protesting Ottoman Turkish military attacks in northern Syria clashed with police.

The dpa news agency reported that some of the estimated 11,000 protesters threw plastic bottles at police Saturday and threatened them with the flagpoles they were waving.

The demonstrators were also protesting German arms sales to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
and rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud like "German tanks out of Kurdistan!" and called Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
a "terrorist."

No incidents were reported at smaller demonstrations in Cologne
...the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth populated city in Germany....
and Wuppertal.

Some demonstrators waved flags showing the leader of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party, known as the PKK, and police say they are evaluating videos to see if they can determine their identity.
