Man died during police detention in Berlin

A 30-year-old man suffered a heart attack after police tried to detain him in the backyard of a Berlin building, police reported on Sunday.

According to the police statement, the man was shouting and crashing bicycles in the courtyard of an apartment building in Berlin’s Charlottenburg neighbourhood late Friday night.

The police report claimed he lunged and spat at officers, and when they tried to arrest him, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness. He was diagnosed with a heart attack at the hospital, with police reporting he passed away on Saturday morning.

Couldn't believe my ears when the integration initiative I'm cooperating with painted Germany as a safe country where everyone can make a decent living today. Yes, we're all privileged to be here. But don't forget Olaf Scholz announcing mass deportations on Spiegel Magazine just last week. Don't forget the massive homeless population in Germany, half of whom are refugees in temporary shelters. Don't forget the massive intensifying of police profiling right now.

Our biggest issue for sure is not Meckermentalität (people complaining too much) and I hate that (some) white Germans are teaching youth that complaining is bad. Not sure if I should even bother discussing or just quit the cooperation at this point.

Welcome to another Episode of System Fail. In this episode we will be covering the trend of rising state repression around the globe. We start in so-called Chile where the newly elected ostensibly left-libertarian president Gabriel Boric has failed to deliver on his promise to free political prisoners. Meanwhile in Munich, police have raided a number of apartments, an anarchist library, and a print shop. Then in Greece, long term anarchist prisoner Giannis Michaildis has announced a hunger strike demanding his release. Finally, a run down of the recent events at the Defend the Forest Atlanta encampment.

TW: Policebrutality

yesterday, may 2nd 2022, a man has been killed by police in Mannheim, Germany. He was non-white and mentally ill. Police used force while trying to arrest him. Shortly after he died in a hospital.

Last year a similar story happened in Bremen.

My heart goes out to his family and friends and every other person who is getting (re) traumatized by these events.

On top of that, at least two protests on the 1st of May (International Workers Day) have been brutally attacked by cops in Germany. The one in Hamburg was so brutal that multiple people had to get treated at the hospital.

Policebrutality is a problem in Germany. Politicians protect the police and declare every attack by police as an "Einzelfall", an anomaly.

Today more than ever-No Justice, No Peace, Fuck the Police!!

We escaped to Germany on 11 September [1965], where two excellent concerts in Münster marked our debut in what turned out to be a never-to-be-forgotten tour. At Essen, mounted police charged 2,000 yelling teenagers, who stood on seats, unbolted the tubular chairs to wave in the air and throw toilet rolls. A German policeman told the Daily Mail: “I have seen nothing like this since the old days of a Nazi or Communist rally.”

Hamburg, next night, was worse. During two great shows for a total audience of 14,000, there were riots outside by kids who hadn’t been able to get seats. Baton-wielding police on horses charged the fans. Between shows, we watched these riots from the dressing-room windows. Later, police announced that forty-seven had been arrested and thirty-seven injured in the street fighting. We could not believe the level of police brutality; backstage, too, the cops were wandering around armed to the teeth, trying to scrounge drinks from everyone. Keith took a half-filled whisky bottle, peed in it, shook it and passed it to the cops standing outside our dressing-room. They proceeded to pass it around to each other, taking swigs, toasting our health.

Sound familiar?

"After the First World War, the map of Europe was re-drawn and several new countries were formed. As a result of this, three million Germans found themselves now living in part of Czechoslovakia.

When Adolf Hitler came to power, he wanted to unite all Germans into one nation.

In September 1938 he turned his attention to the three million Germans living in part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland. Sudeten Germans began protests and provoked violence from the Czech police. Hitler claimed that 300 Sudeten Germans had been killed. This was not actually the case, but Hitler used it as an excuse to place German troops along the Czech border.

Things that happened in September 1938:

Sept 7. On instructions from Hitler, Konrad Henlein broke off negotiations with the Czech government. Allegations of Czech police brutality at Moravská Ostrava were used as an excuse

Sept 7. A famously controversial editorial appeared in The Times which recommended giving Hitler what he wanted because "the advantages to Czechoslovakia of becoming a homogenous State might conceivably outweigh the obvious disadvantages of losing the Sudeten German districts of the borderland."

Sept 13. French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier asked Neville Chamberlain (leader of Czechoslovakia) to make the best deal he could with Hitler.

Sept 20. The Czechoslovak government rejected the Anglo-French proposal in a note explaining that acceptance would mean that Czechoslovakia would be put "sooner or later under the complete domination of Germany."

Sept 20. Hitler met with the Polish ambassador Józef Lipski and told him that Germany would support Poland in a conflict with Czechoslovakia over Teschen. Hitler also said he was considering shipping Europe's Jews to a colony (Israel, a colony for Europe's displaced Jewish population would be established in 1948) and expressed hope that Poland would cooperate with such a plan. Lipski replied that if Hitler could solve the Jewish question, the Poles would build a monument to him in Warsaw

September 26. In the Berlin Sportpalast, Hitler made a speech threatening Czechoslovakia with war. "My patience is exhausted", Hitler declared. "If Beneš does not want peace we will have to take matters into our own hands.

Sept 27th. The French government announced that France would not enter a war purely over Czechoslovakia. Neville Chamberlain gave a radio address saying, "However much we may sympathize with a small nation confronted by a big and powerful neighbor, we cannot in all circumstances undertake to involve the whole British Empire in a war simply on her account. If we have to fight it must be on larger issues than that

Sept 27. President Franklin Roosevelt writes to German Chancellor Adolf Hitler regarding the threat of war in Europe. The German chancellor had been threatening to invade the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia and, in the letter, his second to Hitler in as many days, Roosevelt reiterated the need to find a peaceful resolution to the issue.

Sept 29. German Führer Adolf Hitler, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier and Italian Duce Benito Mussolini met in Munich to settle the Sudetenland crisis. Czechoslovakia was not invited, neither was the Soviet Union.

Sept 30. Munich Agreement: At 1 a.m., the four powers at Munich agreed that Czechoslovakia would cede the Sudetenland to Germany by October 10. The territorial integrity of the rest of Czechoslovakia was guaranteed by all signatories. Neville Chamberlain flew back to Britain and declared "peace for our time"

I think we all deeply need to reconsider what we were taught about WW2. The allies who "saved" everyone from Hitler's camps are also the Same People who allowed him to get so much power in the first place.

Closer looks at these histories show they had their own motives for allowing it just like Biden does today. FDR & Biden are actually mirroring each other really well considering they're separated by time and death. FDR was pleading and asking Hitler to please stop doing war until Pearl Harbor cuz they had a good relationship like that :) Yeah, so all he really did up to that point was play arms dealer for France and Britain because he didn't wanna jeopardize his relationship with Germany by Directly getting involved.

Yeah.

See what I said about it sounding familiar?

And can I remind y'all that Hitler didn't start by saying he hated Jewish people. No.

You know what his plan was at first? A "Greater Germany" that would unify Germans across the territories that Germany was forced to concede after WW1.

.....Y'all remember this image?

Fascists and dictators and warmongers come in all shapes, sizes and belief systems, but you can always recognize a Fascist Supremacist by the thinly veiled expansion genocide being done in the name of their people. And the guys who help them are always trying to gaslight you about how things are "It's not that bad"

All this to say: get the fuck up and make sure history doesn't keep repeating itself because it's starting to

Y'all are sitting there asking how the Holocaust could happen and Palestinians are asking why nobody is fucking doing anything.

These are related questions.

Get up and do something. Yeah it is crazy that you're going to work when a genocide is happening...so don't!!! So many people are scared of losing their comfort because of what MIGHT happen if it's for nothing, but I'm BEGGING y'all to ask yourselves what headlines you'd rather read about the 1930's-40's and make those real.

"Mob storms parliament, stops the Munich Agreement," "Citizens of (anywhere) create Organization to protect Jewish, Black, and Homosexual peers in opposition to state sponsored violence. Quote: These are my neighbors and Nazis can't have them." "Meet the University Students who chased Nazis off campus." "'We Couldn't Do Nothing' say arrested group of women who beat a Gestapo officer with a clothing iron." "'If they can't afford us, they can't afford war': How global strikes and the lack of scabs are changing the the future of war" "'I'm afraid to Sleep' American Nazis restless after serial arsonist publishes their addresses in the paper"

Germans literally tried to assassinate Hitler. Like several times. We need to step it up.

There are SO MANY things we can do if we can just agree that none of us will be doing them alone! You are NOT powerless to stop this war just because you aren't in Palestine!!!

i have felt nothing but dread in my heart for the past 11 days. every morning, i check the death toll of my people. without fail, it has risen by at least 100. but today, i have truly broken. 500+ people and counting confirmed dead in one bombing. they cut off the food, water, and electricity for 2.2 million people, then attack our hospitals. hospitals that are full of the people injured from their previous bombings on civilian homes. doctors are discovering their families have died by those family members being rushed to their own hospital room.

i turn to the news to keep updated. i have stopped watching any western based news sources entirely since day 2. i get my reports straight from the palestinians on the ground. uncensored, brutal videos of children being maimed and parents crying over their dead babies. i read their final words and pleas to not be forgotten numbers. because if i turn on the news, those same people will be called terrorists for the crime of being born in gaza.

country doesn't matter anymore. a six year old in the usa is dead. germany has banned protesting the massacres. french police are harassing hijabis for speaking arabic. no palestinian is safe from violence or hate speech. i watch palestinain influencers be sent death threat after threat. i watch the instagram account for the state of israel make callout posts for palestinian model gigi hadid for mourning dead gazan kids.

there is no peace for the palestinian. birth has labeled us "human animals". we must witness the world co-sign our genocide. i feel nothing but anguish.

#palestine #gaza #i am unable to cry #i feel numb #i feel furious

The Defense of Lützerath: A Photoessay https://crimethinc.com/Lutzerath Over the past week, police have taken brutal steps to suppress ecological movements in Europe and the United States. In Germany, police evicted and destroyed the long-occupied village of #Lutzerath in a massive operation in order to expand an ecologically devastating open pit coal mine. Today, in Atlanta, Georgia, police murdered a person in the course of their efforts to evict and destroy the #Weelaunee Forest. In this extensive photoessay, a witness of the events in Lützerath documents the clashes that unfolded between police and climate activists.

Btw, police brutality is just as much a problem in Germany. In case you were wondering.

CN police brutality:

There are of course boot lickers going, "We don't know what happened before," as if that's at all relevant.

Police chief said, "they had to defend themselves. It looks bad but sometimes it's necessary." No, it's not. Not like this. Never like this.
