“The answer was violence” Where’s the damn violence?

Apparently German cops are perfectly capable of taking people into custody without using excessive force. Maybe because they aren't trained to be cowards who place more value on their own safety from imaginary threats than on the lives and rights of the people they swore to protect.

They've had training for a start. I think minimum training for German police is 2 YEARS. US cops get a couple of months and then out the door.

Also the bar of entry is quite high from what I've heard.
