BERLIN (Reuters) - German police wearing riot gear and face masks tussled on Saturday with dozens of protesters demonstrating in central Berlin against the coronavirus lockdown on public life.
Protesters shouted “I want my life back” and held up signs with slogans such as “Protect constitutional rights”, “Freedom isn’t everything but without freedom, everything is nothing”, and “Daddy, what is a kiss?”
Police said on Twitter they had arrested more than 100 people.
Some protesters tried to keep a distance from each other, sitting on the ground and wearing masks, but others clustered together.
Like dozens of countries around the globe, Germany has put in place strict curbs on public activity to slow transmission of COVID-19, imposing its lockdown on March 17.
The protesters handed out newspapers entitled “Democratic Resistance”, which said the new coronavirus is an attempt to seize power by spreading fear. The papers quoted 127 doctors from around the world who question the need for strict lockdowns.

Ping!
I’m surprised the moslem hordes aren’t protesting. The only thing I can think of is that someone in their ranks is keeping them quiet for their own reasons.
dozens of protesters and over 100 arrests?
They're taking notes on what it takes to shut down Europe and the US. Easy pickings for the terrorists.
“tussled on Saturday with dozens of protesters”
“arrested more than 100 people”
Something does not compute.
we haven't prevented one death...in places, we've actually increased the death rate.....
Their reference to the “White Rose” resistance movement is going to leave a mark...
bttt
The people will restart the world, not the bureacrats.
Germany picks now to complain about things?
Sehr Gut!
Liberals screwed the economy based on a hysterical disease model and now demand we implement more expensive policies based on severely biased climate models.
Christian churches were locked down for Easter. Mosques are not being limited during Ramadan, which just started.
The only way to open it all up is to do it ourselves. Our leaders have failed.
I’m seeing it here loud and clear
May 1 it’s going to be a very very big protest day
and it’s going to be the complete opposite of the usual communist lovefest that it usually is
These things are picking up all over the country and worldwide and we get another whole week until May 1 and May 1 is a perfect day for it it’s a Friday and it’s when all this crap supposed to end
Yes it is. I see it here even in The People's Republik of Connecticut.
What about “Cinco de Quatro?
