Switzerland: Police use water cannon during COVID restrictions protest in Swiss Capital of Bern

Police have clashed with protestors in Bern at an unauthorised demonstration against COVID-19 restrictions.

Hundreds of people gathered in the Swiss capital on Thursday night despite warnings from the authorities.

"There were clashes in the vicinity of the rally," Bern cantonal police said on Twitter.

Fireworks were set off and objects were thrown at police officers, who responded with a water cannon, rubber bullets, and irritant gas.

Thirteen people were taken into police custody, they added in a later statement. Seven of those arrested "had already attracted attention at similar demonstrations".

The police also confiscated masking material and objects such as knives and screwdrivers. Those detained are facing numerous charges including violence and threats against police officers.

"An increasingly heated and aggressive atmosphere was observed, which is why the authorities called in advance for people not to take part in the rally," the police added.

Last week at a similar demonstration in Bern, protesters tried to force their way through a police barrier protecting the Federal Palace, the seat of Swiss government and parliament.

Switzerland recently tightened its measures against COVID-19, making a health pass mandatory to enter a restaurant or bar, as well as museums, cinemas, and indoor sporting arenas.

A global lockdown...

🌎🌍🌏

Seems sort of ... Biblical.

πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

The world is being prepared for the Beast and the False Prophet.

About time to hear more talk of dividing Israel for “peace’.

Maybe a 7-year plan.........

It’s amazing. The global scope of this thing is shocking even me.

The speed and the breadth of this thing is remarkable.

And not in a good way.

the decline really spreaD UP when obama took office and started attacking ordinary Americans, sicking the irs on them, passing gay marriage, attacking Christians and fly over people etc- encouraging racism and racial divide by stoking the fires in cases like the fella in florida that killed the black kid that was trying to murder him-

the left learned then that they could get away with anything they wanted- and they took off the gloves and came out swinging.

While clinton and carter were not ideal, and screwed things up royally, they at least didn’t launch an assault on this country like obama and ilk did- and we saw a much much different country after obama got done ruining it than we did previous to his taking office- His administration attacked religion, science, the rule of law- sicked government agencies on Americans, etc etc etc- in just 4 short years, the country i grew up in was gone forever because of him and his antiamericanism and the vile socialist/marxist crew he hung with-

You wouldn't be shocked if you had read these, you would instead understand:

This is a summary of the speech by Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganΓ², which is a quicker read:

The Plan: By Daymond Duck

This is the full speech by Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganΓ² (translated):
