Well, let's not start a conspiracy theory here. Democracy and freedom of demonstration are in no danger in Germany and the police is not above the law but trying to uphold it. Which of course can also mean, that they have to uphold it against demonstraters, who -- according to my observations at least -- have more and more a problem with accepting the rules and realizing that a cause can also be lost, even if it is a just one in their eyes.
A close relative of mine is currently in training at the police and she is sent to football stadiums and other events for security and it's a tough job.
You can demonstrate as much as you want but you have to accept at some point, that demonstrating alone doesn't put you on a higher moral or legal ground, let alone make you a better person. The vast majority of the policemen and -women are just trying to do their job well under sometimes very difficult circumstances.
It's normal, that there are glitches but it would be wrong to generalize it.
