MODERATORS
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.
How dare you ruin this perfect moment of outrage with reason.
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:
Translated by me:
That's what the police says.
What do the people themselves say?
In the video you can hear them yelling "Hey! Release the kid!" and stuff like that. They also call the police "murderers" for protecting the child against the thrown stuff, so I don't really take them seriously.
I haven't found any statement from the father, or someone adjacent to them, so I don't know what they have to say about this. Maybe someone can find something.
