Social media users circulated a video of German police chasing a child carrying a Palestinian flag during a pro-Palestinian protest in Berlin.Activists state...

TFW you support Israel so much that you start treating Palestinian children just like they do.

      Well, that’s… unexpectedly reasonable.

      EDIT: Unexpectedly reasonable for the cops to be even remotely altruistic. Unfortunately in this day and age, I was fully expecting the cops to just curbstomp the poor kid.

        How is this reasonable, they’re traumatizing the kid why exactly? 10 year olds are out on their own all the time in Germany and aren’t being chased by police.

      Do you have a source? I couldn’t find anything about the situation outside of middle eastern news sites talking about Germany being in the wrong side of history & backlash because of the video.

        Source is the police, here is the Link to the news ticker

        Here’s the relevant part as a screenshot:

        Gegen 18 Uhr wurden Einsatzkräfte auf einen Jungen aufmerksam, der zuvor offenbar ohne Begleitung an der Versammlung teilgenommen hatte. Aufgrund der noch andauernden polizeilichen Maßnahmen im Nachgang der Versammlung wurde der Elfjährige zu seinem eigenen Schutz in Obhut genommen. Sein Vater wurde benachrichtigt, der ihn circa 90 Minuten später abholte.

        Translated by me:

        At about 6:00 PM officers noticed a boy attending the event clearly unsupervised. Because of police activity after the event the 11-year-old was taken into police protection. His father was notified and he took the boy with him after 90 minutes.
