    That’s not true. You can definitely sue the police. You can literally sue anyone. But the chance of winning is something else. And we have lots of private Newspaper which don’t follow an “agenda” and are more than happy to report about this. For example Katapult Magazin & Volksverpetzer. There is no overall “agenda”. Don’t start to schwurble.

      What I clearly meant by that is that it is impossible to successfully sue a cop. No one cares that you can sue if the chances of winning are literally zero. And that’s what your chances do look like in Germany.

      Besides that Volksverpetzer is trying way too hard to go the enlightened centrist route which is especially now a problem when we’re looking at a possible genocide. Katapult Magazin is okay in that aspect. There are a few other acceptable media outlets out there too. But again, these are mostly fringe outlets, which was exactly my point in the first place.

      Police violence that is at least as bad as the one seen in this article, or even worse, is not picked up by big media outlets in Germany as it is in other countries like the US or UK. And that is what I was criticising. If you do find an article from a big German media outlet going into detail on cops using excessive violence and pummelling protesters with fists in the current context of pro Palestine protests, then link it here. Otherwise I don’t think there’s anything left to discuss.
