Particularly worrisome here is the potential for a raid on a pretext, ostensibly the main reason for the raid was the presence of an anonymous threat against the police.

The only way to deal with anonymous general threats against authorities is to ignore them. The potential for abuse of such threats as a fabricated pretext is simply too high, as is the number of idiots.

Anonymous threads that have become reality in the past. They're hard to ignore.

The page in question also introduced a "Randale Bundesliga", a rioting competition in which they crowned the city with the most riots. Anything from throwing paint at buildings to setting cars on fire to beating up people from the opposite political spectrum counts.
