Pretty grimey day to be honest. Biggest turnout I have seen this year but at the same time it was constantly tense. Several buildings were attacked, mostly by anarchists I think. Police turned on water cannons but that didn’t impress the people that much as you can see. Several moments of clashes between protesters and the riot police throughout the city. The socdem HQ got attacked as well. Saw several people fight in bars, probably people mad at protesters.
What’s up with people who work as riot police? Like, what is going through their heads?
I get that fascists exist but it’s not like they’re ontologically evil for no reason.
Police in general I can understand, but riot police?
it’s a paycheck
I knew some guys from SWAT-like unit in my Euro country and they all hated to be sometimes assigned to riot police duty. They considered it the worst assignment.
