| Reading time: 2 minutes
After the end of a demonstration to welcome refugees in Dresden, a police officer told a hooded anti-fascist protester: “Push me and you will take a bullet.” Then he takes the holster from his service weapon.
FThe local branch of “Seebrücke” had called a demonstration in Dresden on Sunday afternoon. After the fire in the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos last week, some 250 protesters demanded the immediate evacuation of the refugees at the European external borders: “Evacuate all the camps, immediately! Bring the people here, because we have space! “
Everything remained peaceful until the demonstration ended. Then a pot of smoke was lit on Pirnaischer Platz. In the hot atmosphere, masked people from the Dresden Antifa blocked the tram tracks with a large banner. The chief of police operations confronted the masked people.
A video shows that the police officer apparently told the leader of the group “Push me and you will take a bullet”, as reported by “Bild” and “Dresdner Neuesten Nachrichten” first.
He searches for his service weapon, but does not drop it.
The protesters responded by shouting “stay away” in the direction of the police. The policeman is harassed by the masked man, takes a few steps back and puts his hand in the holster of his service weapon, but does not drop it. He runs to the cameraman and says to the masked protesters, “They’re leaving …” Then he turns around, more policemen join him, and the situation calms down again.
Valentin Lippmann, Parliamentary Managing Director and internal political spokesperson for the Greens in the Saxon state parliament, asked the Dresden police on Sunday evening on Twitter if this process was already being monitored: “The firearm threat should have relevance. disciplinary if legal requirements are not met. “
Police spokesman Heiko Perlebach said: “Pirnaische Platz was blocked for a short time and the policeman was pressured.”
