    German cops will fuck you up if you give them reason, but you’d really have to give them reason

    Lol I saw a video of some dude doing a nazi salute and nearby cops tackled him 🤣

        Tell that to the 93% of morons who voted AfD in my town in Brandenburg. I’m so glad I’m moving away.

      Just for some German context: the Nazi salute is not covered by any freedom of expression or opinion in a political context. What Elon did on stage would have landed him in a German court. Similar restrictions apply to displaying certain symbols, e.g. the swastika. German cops are legally required to intervene when they see them in public.

      I don’t know the video in question, I don’t know if the cops overreacted - a reaction was required though.

        Good.
