It's reported in the main government news source, the tagesschau, in Germany all the time and (at least for Germany) its also blown waaaayy out of proportion. For example, in my home-town of 170,000 the demo was 30 people…

The "police brutality" used against the QAnon, Nazis, and the so called "Querdenker" demonstrators here in Germany is laughable, when you compare what the police does against left-leaning demonstrations here in Germany on a regular basis.

So please stop spreading this FUD.

Can confirm, media likes to report on it because it gets a lot of clicks. It's a loud minority that knows how to use (online) media for their means and profit.

Initiators of (not only) left demonstrations like to cry about the oh-so brutal police but there is definetely truth to this. I've never seen protesters get away with so much bullshit in germany.
