60 year old historian Martin Bühler (who identified himself to the press, I do not identify activists without consent) appears to ‘photobomb’ a lot of media images of the G20 in Hamburg. In reality he is a long time observer documenting police brutality. In Hamburg he chose to cultivate the most non-activist ‘white bystander in a suit with a bike’ look he could manage and casually walked in front of police. As police slowed down or interrupted attacks and waited for the ‘bystander’ to get out of the way (being caught on camera trashing what look like bystanders is bad press after all), activists had time to regroup or retreat.
this is pretty punk rock
Chaotic good.
acknowledge your privilege and use it against them.
The last comment.
Yeeeeeeees!
And by the way, for my US followers: in the notes you may see people commenting on this post with ‘this isn’t like America, the police here are nice and not racist!’
Don’t believe a word of it. These people are white, oblivious and have never been at any remotely controversial protest.
The police in Germany may be somewhat less armed and trigger happy than in the US but they are still racist and violent as shit.
All cops are bastards.
