BERLIN - German police fired water cannons Wednesday at demonstrators protesting coronavirus restrictions in Berlin’s government district, after crowds ignored calls to wear masks and keep their distance from one another in line with pandemic regulations.
As the cannons soaked protesters outside the landmark Brandenburg Gate, police in riot gear moved through the crowd carrying away some participants. Some demonstrators threw fireworks and flares in response as police helicopters hovered overhead.
The protests came as German lawmakers debated on a bill providing legal underpinning for the government to issue social distancing rules, require masks in public and close stores and other venues to slow the spread of the virus. While such measures are supported by most people in Germany, a vocal minority has staged regular rallies around the country arguing that the restrictions are unconstitutional.
The measures are expected to pass both the lower and then upper house of parliament and be quickly signed by Germany’s president.
The health minister, Jens Spahn, defended the measures, telling lawmakers that authorities “struggle every day in trying to strike the balance” between restrictions and safeguarding democratic freedoms.
But he insisted that Germany had found the right path, noting that it has fared much better than many of its European neighbors.
“Where would you rather be than in Germany,” he told lawmakers from the far-right Alternative for Germany party who criticized the lockdown measures.

Fight The Power!
This points out a reality that can’t be ignored. This whole lockdown thing and the fighting back is far from just a US thing. It is the globalists last stand. See two year old tag line.

That’s a helluva way to spread Covid all over a crowd and your streets
This isn’t about a virus
A global “Big Brother” movement.
None of the Euroweenie Nations have a Bill of Rights as we here in America do. Then State is free to silence it’s people as they see fit and the folks have no legal recourse.
It’s all about their Great Reset push.
True. Trump was merely one target. They hated BRexit. They hated dissent. It was a lockdown on ALL of us around the world.
The UN tried ushering in a “citizen of the world” one nation viewpoint in all of this. Nope. We all live on the same planet but each of us have our own homes and our own self-determined sovereign systems of governance.
It never was.
There is no science proving masks and distancing work.
For every shaky pseudo science report governments produce, there are strong countervailing reports refuting them.
Covid is about POWER. The power of governments to make you do anything, starting with stupid meaningless random things today, followed by totalitarianism and thought control tomorrow.
In an effort to stop the airborne spread of the virus...
Then State is free to silence it’s people as they see fit and the folks have no legal recourse.As if we do?
the biggest question I have:
WHY ARENT AMERICAN PROTESTING?
Our esteemed DB governor here in CA is getting ready to put us on curfew.
Governors across the nation are dialing back our rights and all we do is
complain. Im legit surprised that we as a populace are just taking this
lying down.
This is what the MAGA rallies need to morph into here.
Same crowds, same flags and caravans.
“End the lockdown” theme.
