    No matter if you say all germans are nazis, or all police are nazis, both is wrong.

      Police in full riot gear beating up unarmed women is a pretty strong indicator though. Also German police has Nazi scandals every year. This goes from whatsapp chats, where they share “nazi jokes” and pedophilia, over stealing weapons and ammunition for nazi terror groups, to protecting nazi terror cells committing attacks on politicans to being involved in planning violent coups and mass murder of political enemies

      Oh and of course there is a bunch of racist murders by the police, with one infamous police station still in operation, where a black men was set on fire by cops and a Chinese women was raped and murdered by the step-son of the former leader of the station and son of a policewomen there, who both likely helped cover up the crime.

      In Germany, if you have a police interaction with a person that is deemed to be “non German” or that is deemed to be “lefty”, the interaction will likely be racist or otherwise abusive.

      EDIT: Oh and there was a recent case, where the police deported a non-binary German person to Hungary in June 2024 despite a court injunction that forbid the deportation. However the constitutional court ruling the action of the police to be unlawful recently doesn’t change the fact that she is indeed abused and the police who deported her there did not face any consequences yet.

      Fascism is epidemic inside the German police and Racism and Sexism are systematically protected by the administrative and political leaders.

        Hi german here

        Yes police in east germany has big nazi problems. Doesnt mean all are nazis -.-

        They are in riot gears for their own protection. Especially after the happenings of last few months where people started driving into crows

        While yes often there is racial profiling with police stops there is no such thing as higher stops for “looking left wing” and that they then are abusive to you

        You are putting in all people under one blanket. You know who also does that? Racists, nazis, homophobes aso. Your argument is: Japan has nazis: all japanese are nazis There are nazis that play video games: all that play video games are nazis There are nazi Programmers: all nazi programmers are nazis. Little tip: There are also nazi woman! Guess all woman are nazis hmm?

        Maybe instead of generalising, focus on the individuals, on the nazis not on those that dont do these adhorent crimes

          I don’t think Saleh is saying anything about all police being this way.

          But the fact that any of them are like this, and that there are enough of them like this, is a genuine problem for the well-being of regular people.

          This isn’t an all-or-nothing situation. We can recognize that there are a significant number of police using violence to accomplish political ends without having to make a disclaimer about not all individual police being this way, because there are clearly enough of them behaving this way that there is real cause for concern.

          Wouldn’t you agree?

            Clearly enought haha yeah…yeah…21%…

            It is a big problem. I fully agree. A police in saxony had the german empire eagle stiched in the car seats. It is a problem, a huge problem.

            Though this isnt because the police is inherently nazis, like its being put here and constantly yelled with ACAB. I can say myself, having worked with the police in my city, Augsburg, and having had many encounters with them, these people do not represent the police all over.

            Clear distinction is key. If one puts innocent people in the same pot as normal people you aggrovate them and push them into this problem group, thus making this problem even bigger. One should never dehumanise. Never create this “us vs them” mentality". Doing this, you dont fight the problem, you radicalise yourself and this is a path that quickly only brings distruction.

          As i said it is epidemic and it is systematically protected. Does not mean “all of them”. As an institution it is deeply riddled with these problems.

          As for higher stops for “looking left wing” there was this thing in 2023 where police demanded the train conductors to report people with dreadlocks or “looking politically non-conformative” (“alternatives aussehen”).

          Police wearing Riot gear and escalating left wing demonstrations also has nothing to do with cars driving into crowds. it is not a recent event. Just put “police violence berlin” or “police violence germany” into your search engine and you will find many examples. Here you can see police officers in full riot gear throwing women to the ground last summer, despite them evidently not posing any threat to anyone. Here you can see two police officers torturing a detained climate activist in 2023 despite there being no threat from him or anyone around whatsoever. Note how you can hear the snap of his wrist. I could not find any article regarding the officers to have faced any consequences.

          All of this would not be a problem if the “individuals” that act in such a way would face consequences. Instead they are protected by their colleagues and the institution at large, which makes them complicit.

          Sorry, to me their argument was the police are nazis, not all Germans. ACAB referrs to the institution, as yes there are there can’t be good people being police, as they are corrupted, or forced out.

              Did you actively speak out about police brutally and oppression? Did you effect change of the systematic injustices the police department commits?
