Tens of thousands gathered in Hamburg on Friday for a demonstration against the far right, and organizers said the protest was ended early because the mass of people led to safety concerns.

Actually, it's because police estimates are the number of people being there at the same time while organizers count people being there at all, so both numbers can be correct. Also, police said making an estimate was difficult because of the masses of people.

Not a fan of the police in general but no need to invent reasons either.
