Protestor Tried to Take Police Sidearm at Violent Pro-Palestine Demo

The Antifa/Black Bloc-Hamas/jihadi nexus.

[Breitbart] A protester tried to take the sidearm of a Berlin police officer as they attempted to shut down a violent pro-Palestine march through Berlin on Saturday, with police now saying they have launched dozens of criminal investigations into the rally.

A pro-Palestine march through the Kreuzberg district of Berlin on Saturday may have been small with an estimated 720 attendees, but its attendees apparently had an outsized dedication to their cause, with police attacked and 36 criminal investigations launched.

Local newspaper Berliner Kurier states police officers at the demonstration were attacked, had glass bottles thrown at them, with eight injured through the night. It is stated “forbidden slogans” were chanted several times — Germany has strict speech control laws compared to many western states, a legacy of its 20th century experience — prompting police to exclude 95 from the march altogether for antisemitic statements.

In cases where police arrested protest participants, other marchers attempted to free their compatriots from police custody, Die Welt reports, creating another flashpoint. Eventually, police attempted to shut down the march altogether in the early evening, before its originally stated end time, with many refusing to comply and having to be “pushed and shoved” by officers to get the point across.

Later that evening, around 35 participants of the original protest gathered again and attacked police when told to disperse. One attempted to snatch “an officer’s service weapon”.

Police said in a press conference about the violence on Sunday that they had launched 36 criminal investigations, including “attempted aggravated theft of firearms” — for the would-be pistol snatcher — as well as physical harm, attacks on law officers, aiding and abetting the escape of a prisoner, the use of symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organisations, and incitement to hatred.

Relatively extreme expressions of pro-Palestine sentiment have been an emerging phenomenon in the Germany in the year since the October terrorist attacks in Israel. As previously reported earlier this year one such demonstration in Leipzig attended by Greta Thunberg saw a local journalist dispatched to cover the event followed and beaten, it was claimed, by one of the stewards of the event.

Also this year was an attempt to disrupt an annual remembrance event at German death camp Auschwitz, in what was then occupied Poland, by pro-Palestine activists.

A major pro-Palestine protest in Berlin just days after the Israel attack in 2023 which authorities attempted to ban but which saw hundreds take to the streets and riot in defiance of the order led to dozens of officers being injured. The riot followed the firebombing of a synagogue in Berlin the same day and saw 174 arrests were made and 65 police officers injured, with several vehicles burnt out.

#1 a violent hamas support march. Not "pro-palestine". Supporting Hamas.

You could accurately call it "pro-Palestine" if they also called for Hamas to surrender in order to save the civilians. But they don't. Therefore they support hamas.

#2 You understand, Anon1. But they don’t care what figleaf they use for their Jew-hate. Next week or month or year the excuse will be different, but the hatred will be the same.

#3 Hi trailing wife, yes you are correct again.

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW I'm really thinking of you in the US and really hoping it's all going to turn out OK and no riots

#4 ...and no riots

Sorry Anon1, but those rioters have already received their down payments from Soros and the DNC and are expected to perform their duties.

#5 Here in Butler County, Ohio, in the exurbs of Cincinnati — former Speaker of the House John Boehner’s old stomping grounds — the poll workers say it has been absolutely calm, with a steady flow of voters. While I was there, filling out a provisional vote because my driver’s license expired last month, four first time voters were cheered by all present. Interestingly, all four were young men.

It was very comforting to me that only an Ohio photo ID, a passport, or a US military photo ID are acceptable in Ohio for voting. It used to be that a birth certificate and a proof of residence were accepted, but clearly they’ve tightened up.
