That’s in theory.

Have you looked at even one of the cases in Hamburg with G20?

Spontandemonstrationen that were immediately dissolved with teargas.

No approval for demonstrations without reason, or even situations where courts said the demonstration is legal, and the police dissolved them anyway.




And because we are in a Rechtsstaat, the courts will take care of that.


And because it’s a Rechtsstaat, obviously the people that decided that this should happen (considering that there have been memos leaked showing that Scholz and Merkel both were involved in these decisions personally) will resign, right?

Yeah, I doubt there will be any repercussions, de Maiziere will jail some more left-wing journalists, Merkel will become chancellor again, and in Hamburg instead of the Mayor maybe some low-level police officer will resign.

Although every police officer involved in this said that the ridiculous orders came from high up.


What has a will to resign an office has to do with us being in a Rechtsstaat?

Have a look at Stuttgart. They lost a high-ranking police officer and the MP was not reelected.
