So your source is in fact internet propaganda… Do you know why they did it? Or what happened to the boy after?
Police deemed a protest including violence and vandalism wasn’t a good place for an unsupervised 10 year old boy. So they took him out of there, whether he liked it or not. And proceedingly returned him to his father. That’s it.
I mean I wasn’t there. But I have no reason to question the validity of that. And looking at the video, these policemen and women were super chill. They didn’t lay a hand on that child. They barely touched him. And they completely ignored the protesters and bystanders throwing things at them and the kid. Which is very remarkable IMO. Usually if you throw things at police, they don’t like that at all. Especially if they’re not wearing a helmet.

“they took him out of there and returned him to his father”
You are making some big police apologia here, the video is there for anyone to see. A quick search on youtube with keywords like “police germany protest” will show plenty of videos of police gently helping people their way home.
What would you do? The law is pretty clear on that minors are to be protected from harm. Would you rather officials ignore the law and instead just do whatever they like to people? Would that be more democratic in your opinion?
I remember quite well some videos being posted here on lemmy like the police chasing the kid with the palestine flag.
