Almost 5,000 police officers were on duty in the German capital to prevent disturbances and incidents similar to those of the previous year.

    Most likely related to this:

    Berlin police have turned a neighborhood known for its Arab population into a heavily restricted area, closing parts of it and prohibiting any kind of protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

    In German news they say its more like 400 arrested, and there was the little fact that police presence was higher than normal. More police equal more arrestings.

      That checks out. I live near a college town where for 2-3 years there was a rash of “college riots” where police tear-gassed everyone in the streets when they felt it was getting out of hand. The solution to keeping the students from rioting ended up being… stop sending cops out there. Everything was fine.

        Have you ever been to Berlin at Silvester? It got out of hand the past years and got incredibly violent. People are shooting rockets at each other and into buildings, and it often starts mass fights.

        Police has nothing to do with it.

          Not directly. They can do more if presented. That’s overall the fact. I mean it isn’t allowed to fire up fireworks before 0:00. But everyone does it everywhere.

            The commenter I replied to claimed the exact opposite.

    Last year was a lot worse. The police direktor said they were prepared a lot better this year and injuries amongst police and fire department were minor. People buy illegal fireworks in Poland like firework shells and light them on the streets without the mortar tubes. Looks pretty apocalyptic.
