The biggest and most violent protest in Germany erupted in Berlin over the weekend exactly with our models calling for an explosion in civil unrest.
Some 1800 police were called in and at least 120 policemen were injured in what is becoming a street battle. This has been the most aggressive and violent protest in Germany for the past five years.
Protesters were throwing bottles, cobblestones and fireworks, as well as they destroyed cars in addition to attacking police officers. It appears at least 3,500 rioters took part in the uprising and possibly more than 4,000.
The protest is against police operations and involved mostly young people who have risen up against the police operations in the Riga street area. Protesters wore black hoods carrying banners with slogans like “Riga defend 94” and “Housing solidarity against state terror.”
The demonstration went on with the crowd chanting repeatedly: “Bullenschweine get out of Riga!” Demonstrators were throwing firecrackers and police fired back with tear gas. The police also called in air support using helicopters and they had to call in for reinforcements from Bavaria, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and the Federal Police.
Interior Senator Frank Henkel (CDU) announced that the police will also be present at night after the demonstration, so riots and arson attacks should be stopped...calling the riot a "leftist orgy of violence."
With September's elections looming we suspect the tensions will only get worse.

More Soros funding?
It seems to do with the eviction of squatters in an area tagged for re-development.
A very good guess. Squatters.

The lack of specificity means it is most definitely the leftist refugees who are rioting
But I thought they loved Angela Merkel.
Sounds like England got out of the DU just in time.
The German Polizei wouldn’t dare defile Islamic zones now occupied by militant hostile forces, the Polizei is the tool of Regierung/Government to suppress indigenous Germans.
They aren’t squatters, they are undocumented property owners.

The Riga Strasse Story
This is one of those German episodes that unfold in a fashion, with nothing making any sense.
At some point on Wednesday afternoon.....a cop walking the beat on Riga Strasse (on the east side of Berlin)....came upon a car illegally parked. It’s a housing district....older homes or apartment houses. It’s a minute or two walking east from Bersaringplatz.
A masked man is approaching the cop. In Germany, there’s no real law existing presently about masked individuals. There’s talk of this changing, and it’d draw lots of criticism from the Islamic crowd and the privacy rights crowd (SPD, Green Party, etc) if they did try to criminalize masks.
The cop (I’m guessing a youthful guy)....drew attention upon the masked guy and wanted him to identify himself. The guy wasn’t going to comply.
Now, I can write dozens of pages over the prevailing attitude by the vast majority of Germans to comply with cops in a friendly way when they ask questions. At least in Germany, there is still some belief that cops deserve respect, and that cops will treat you with respect.....as long as you behave in a proper way.
At this point, with the cop focused on the masked guy.....two guys and one gal set upon the cop and began beating him. The guy was on regular patrol and didn’t have any defensive vest on him at the time. It’s safe to say he was kicked and punched.....knocking him to the ground, and hurting him in a particular fashion. The masked guy? He apparently joined in on the action.....hurting the cop too.
After achieving what they desired.....the four culprits fled the street.....running to a particular house on Riga Strasse.
All of this drew attention, and more cops arrived. At the peak....at least by what the cops say themselves.....there were roughly 500 cops somewhere within a block or two of the barricaded house.
Naturally, you’d just look at the amount of stupidity dealt out here, and just shake your head. The four had basically asked for a lot of trouble.
The four were arrested. In the midst of this....a lot of anti-cop and anti-authority commenting on social media from the radicals of this part of town.
I went looking at some history over Riga Strasse. It’s a curious thing....back in November....a arrest warrant was attempted on a guy from the street there, and this attempt by the cops triggered a number of thugs to come out and attempt to threaten the cops....failing in an attempt to rescue their buddy. After that attempt.....the thugs turned around and set fire to two cars on the street and a garbage dumpster.
Association with immigrants or foreigners? No....these are simply regular old-fashioned German radicals. The news folks will try hard to avoid using the word hoodlum.....that’s reserved for right-wing and it’s violate news protocol to label leftist radical as leftist hoodlums.
The stupid thing about this is that they all go back home after a while....wanting to brag about what they did.....confessing as widely as they can on social media, Facebook, YouTube, etc.....and making a simple collection of evidence for the cops (similar to the idiots in Koln who also wanted to brag about their achievements from the 31st of December). A cop or two will do the homework....save the images....a prosecutor will build the case, and mental-giant of a thug will stand there shocked in court as everything is laid out by his own submitted evidence via social media.
The only way you can make sense out of this.....is guys sit and do enough weed....to think they are in some imaginary world, living a fantasy life, and stoned enough to get themselves two years in prison for beating a cop.

I saw that :)
The actual NAMES of those arrested will tell the story. Masks, arrestees, et al don’t mean sh!t. NAMES tell the story.
Gentrification= whites with jobs
I live in Germany and can speak to the ‘neighborhood’. This is an area of Berlin which has attracted street artists, anti-capitalists, modern hippy-goth types, etc. They don’t pay rent (hence the squatting episode)....they don’t worry about heat or electricity....and some cash to cover booze, food, etc....off street art, musical donations on the street for their tunes, and work on the ‘black’.
Health care isn’t a worry....at growing trend in Germany where probably half-a-million Germans live in some type of lifestyle like this....without health insurance.
The Berlin state election is coming up in five months, and the right-center party (CDU) has control of the cops....so they’ve tried to enforce the law and demonstrate law enforcement as a major issue in the state.
Quite possibly the post of the day.
Unless they shoot a few dozen rioters, the police will never get a handle on this radical mob of anarchists and communists.
The police should use the old rolling barbedwire jeeps method of sealing in groups of rioters and then arresting them one at a time, at gunpoint.
You seal off a street and have at it.
Damned. Do I have to teach these cops everything? Nobody seems to read the old manuals any more.
Where on earth did they get 1800 cops on such short notice?
Yutes..................
In the U.S., the people wanted a socialist government and they got it with Obomao and his thugees.
Now why is it that violence, riots, demonstrations, shootings, anarchy, marches, arson, looting and bombings are exploding in these two socialist-led paradises with these events now becoming almost daily/nightly occurrences?
Shouldn't the volks in Germany and the folks in the States be happy because they got the kind of government they wanted?
Ach du lieber, something isn't adding up, is it!!!!
