Lignite strip mining protests

RE: Lignite strip mining protests
You should retrain your police a bit.  They are straying a little bit toward American police practices, and you don't want that.  Here is a Google translated bit:

Quote:Alliance criticized police violence

Martin Weis, spokesman for the protest alliance "end area", had the "gruff" criticized police operation in Garzweiler on Saturday. The demonstrators had only "practiced civil disobedience", while police have used pepper spray and batons. One journalist was injured. Activists have been rounded up. According to Weis were 1,500 protesters on site. On Sunday the protests in Garzweiler should continue. The protest camp will continue until Monday (17/08/2015). The Alliance wants to demonstrate with the protests against the climate-damaging lignite. Before the world climate summit in December in Paris the pressure on politicians to be increased, in view of climate change more switch to renewable energy.

Here is a link for an automatic Google translation:
