TFW you support Israel so much that you start treating Palestinian children just like they do.

This video doesn’t even show why the child is getting chased.

According to the police the kid was being chased and secured for his own safety because he was unsupervised at the event. He was returned to the father.

Well, that’s… unexpectedly reasonable.

EDIT: Unexpectedly reasonable for the cops to be even remotely altruistic. Unfortunately in this day and age, I was fully expecting the cops to just curbstomp the poor kid.

How is this reasonable, they’re traumatizing the kid why exactly? 10 year olds are out on their own all the time in Germany and aren’t being chased by police.

How is that reasonable? If you’re protesting you shouldn’t have to fear being chased by the police.

It’s reasonable? 10 year olds are just animals that need to be caged at all times? Since when can a 10 year old not exist in public?

Do you have a source? I couldn’t find anything about the situation outside of middle eastern news sites talking about Germany being in the wrong side of history & backlash because of the video.

Source is the police, here is the Link to the news ticker

Here’s the relevant part as a screenshot:

Gegen 18 Uhr wurden Einsatzkräfte auf einen Jungen aufmerksam, der zuvor offenbar ohne Begleitung an der Versammlung teilgenommen hatte. Aufgrund der noch andauernden polizeilichen Maßnahmen im Nachgang der Versammlung wurde der Elfjährige zu seinem eigenen Schutz in Obhut genommen. Sein Vater wurde benachrichtigt, der ihn circa 90 Minuten später abholte.

Translated by me:

At about 6:00 PM officers noticed a boy attending the event clearly unsupervised. Because of police activity after the event the 11-year-old was taken into police protection. His father was notified and he took the boy with him after 90 minutes.

In the western country where I live, riot cops don’t chase kids like that.

Now I’m torn between:

A) riot cops ignore kid

B) riot cops fire 40mm “non-leathal” whatever at kid, killing them instantly

That’ll teach him to fly illegal flags, hope he gets hard labour otherwise society is doomed.

This is still Western Europe, we don’t do hard labor, Guantanamo will do. For the kid‘s safety, you know.

Fr tho the police issued a statement and they said the kid didn’t do anything wrong and they took him into custody for his own good. Because of course a Palestine isn’t illegal, even if the cops hate it. Pretty crazy way of spinning the illegal arrest of a 10 year old who clearly didn’t look like he wanted the police to take him with them.

If the Palestinian flag is illegal then all the more reason to fly it. They just want to live free and unoppressed.
