Can anybody tell me the background to this?

German police, but Berlin police in particular, think they are American and have been beating Palestine Genocide protestors senseless.

This is merely the latest. https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2025/0830/1530951-irish-gaza-berlin/

I will never forget first of May in Berlin. It was very little but a fascist police parade where the local police showed of their might, numbers, and their endless amounts of riot gear. Pretty shocking for a social democrat who is used to having police presence on that day on site only to ensure the safety of the demonstrators.

I always heard that after they finished beating you up, german cops are very nice and helpful
