The Last Generation defends the police in a new video

On Friday, the Last Generation climate movement posted a video on Twitter that showed a police officer capturing another pain. The activist says: “You don’t have to hurt me, I’ll let you take me in peace.”

Then he says: “I have experienced pain attacks by the police today and in the past. It hurts and can be avoided. When I go to protest, I do so out of love for my fellow human beings and fear of what they will do if the central government continues to act irresponsibly towards us. Climate disaster Falling.” And she says she’s marching out of love for the police, “in honor of the fact that they protect our constitutional state every day.” She can’t blame the police for “government irresponsibility.” She, too, depends on the government finding a way to bring people to a climate-friendly future.

The climate movement is rightly attacked for the video in the comments. Many believe the video was staged. Is there a teleprompter running next to the camera? You think your fellow human beings are absolutely mad », is a comment. Another writes that it looks like the activist was paid for “this lecture”. These are the sweetest comments under the video.

Others stand behind activists. User @ak writes: “This is just abuse. The police should be held accountable.”

Another activist, Lennard, says he now has a broken wrist from the painful grip. In a video he says: “On Wednesday, a police officer broke his wrist while removing a pain grip. It pissed me off at first, but he definitely didn’t do it on purpose.”
