I dunno. Are your polzei intentionally firing rubber baton rounds at protesters' heads, breaking limbs, and pepper-spraying at point-blank? Haven't seen it reported as happening yet for the Gaza protests but there's a load of people from the BLM protests (where people wanted police to stop murdering fellow citizens) that suffered blindness and/or traumatic brain injuries (among other things) as a result.
I really hope your police aren't as bad as those in the US. Here they are generally legally untouchable and can even straight-up rob you by charging your property with a crime (they can it "civil asset forfeiture" and despite it being blatantly against the word and spirit of our Constitution, the courts keep declaring it somehow legal).
Actually yes. They’ve been doing that. Minus the rubber bullets. I don’t think they have those here. Just watch the videos I linked in my other comment.
