They are regularly arresting people and police brutality has gotten so bad that even the international press is taking note:

> Irish officials express 'concern' after Irish protestor left bloodied by police in Berlin

> Footage circulating on X shows police using brute force to push back protesters, with at least 28 people arrested, according to police reports.

> Udi Raz, 34, is sitting in a cafe in Berlin, where he lives, reflecting on a turbulent six months. Since Israel’s war on Gaza began following the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October, Raz, an Israeli Jew raised in Haifa, has been fired from his job and had the activist group he’s part of labelled antisemitic by Germany’s official antisemitism commissioner.

> Last Friday, German authorities arrested Raz, a board member of Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East, after they cancelled and then banned the group’s three-day conference on Palestine.

Yes, even Jewish people are labeled anti-semites, it is that insane.

Ok so the Irish guy got punched in the face after doing that:

> as O'Brien is seen calling officers 'genocide supporters' and accusing one of 'acting like a Nazi'.

If you scream at peoples faces and insult them, you risk getting punched in the face. Police or not. Would be more professional to ignore that. But this is not a state systematically coming after you for voicing opinions. If you want to see a real example of that, look no further than Hamas.
