    Protesters attacked a suspected member of a far right group outside Waterloo station. He was later taken away in an ambulance after police rushed in.

    #Berlin police can be seen attacking and arresting a photographer as they photograph an arrest at tonight’s demo against the eviction of the #Meuterei. The camera has apparently been damaged #b2303

    During tonight’s demo in support of #Rigaer, Berlin police suddenly run forward and push me over. As usual, I was clearly marked as press with a press card visible for them to see. #b1706 #b1806

    Unfortunately my equipment got badly damaged during this incident and now must be repaired/replaced. As a result, I have set up a gofundme (linked below) page to help with the costs. Anything is appreciated! gofundme.com/f/camera-repai…

    During the May Day demo in #Berlin, a police officer can be seen kicking a person who has already been pinned to the ground by other officers. The level of police violence during the #R1MB demo was some of the worst I have seen in Berlin. #b0105

    During last night’s #interkiezionale in #Berlin, a police officer punches and pulls off a martial arts kick to the head of a protester. In recent weeks, there has been no attempt at de-escalation during protests but straight to aggressive tactics like this #b3110

    #Leipzig police shine torches in a persons face to prevent them from recording. Last time I seen this type of policing tactic was in Hong Kong #le1312

    Very heavy handed response yesterday from the #Berlin police as they try to contain a counter protest against the “Der III Weg” neo-nazi march. No attempts at de-escalation and going straight for pepper spray / punches to the head. #b0310 #Hohenschönhausen

    Despite having a visible press card and shouting press, the Berlin police still punch me in the head and smash the light on top of my camera #b3110

    Clashes with police and burning barricades could be seen on #Rigaer straße today. The date marks 3 years since the Liebig34 squat was evicted in the Friedrichshain neighborhood. Police quickly locked the whole neighborhood down, with a helicopter hovering above. #B0910
