At least 196 police officers have been injured in protests in the streets of Hamburg, Germany, where the G-20 summit is taking place.

The demonstrations, which began Thursday ahead of the summit, continued Friday as thousands of officers clad in riot gear sought to prevent the mostly anti-capitalist protesters from disrupting the summit. One officer suffered a fractured limb, police said.

Large fires burned in the streets of Hamburg after a second day of violent demonstrations. Protesters looted nearby buildings as well.

While some groups of protesters staged peaceful demonstrations, others torched vehicles and hurled objects at officers. Police used water cannons to disperse rowdy protesters who came too close to the summit venue....

angle-ah made sure the meeting would be held in Hamburg - so much easier for the courageous sjws that way.

Another leader who doesn’t understand that she might need the good will of her police force some day - oh, wait I bet she’s counting on the good will of her muzzie invaders if it should come to that.

I am sometimes critical of Canada but the Canadians controlled this stuff really well. They had the meeting at an artic resort where the outside temperature -15 degrees and the “campground” set aside for protesters was patrolled by polar bears. But they made it a point to say the protesters were welcome.

Not a riot but a battle victory. Germany is lost.

There used to be a saying “Most countries have an Army, in Germany an Army has a country.”

Good thing they weren’t allowed to fight back or Left-wing neofascists might have been harmed.

ABCNews is fake news. The article says that Melania was “not allowed” to leave her hotel. Not allowed? That is a biased expression, but never mentioning that there were other spouses who also missed the boat ride due to unsafe streets is dishonest. Even more dishonest is saying that Melania missed the global warming place without saying that the entire trip was cancelled. Our media is worse than worthless.

What kind of cops let themselves get beat up and pushed around? Must be a real bunch of punters. Not like the German police I knew in Germany during the 1960’s. Most of them were WW11 vets. They and their dobermans did not get pushed around.

And here we have Bill Deblasio mayor NYC jetting off in great hurry to join the G20 protesters in Hamburg according to a very recent article in The New York Postonline.

Tonight I was watching the protesters and they are fueled by indignation and hatred of capitalism.

So little boy blue is heading in to participate in chaos, mayhem?omfg that is such a effin joke!

One sidebar here on Antifa
I’ve heard they have been active in Europe for at least the past 25 years,are well established and are well known by their numbers in crowds. They are also violent and make the North American branch look like wimps.

WTF were New Yorkers thinking when they elected him? Or perhaps the vote was rigged and set in place as a support for the long legged mack daddy admin?.

However Deblasio is traveling on the city’s dime.

Frankly, he has no business there IMHO.
