Sorry, I meant that more as an update. Maybe some of the defensive tone from the “the governments of Europe are acting criminally” thing spilled over.
That incident happened at the beginning of September… a lot of things have changed since then.
Edit: Not much in the way of convincing police action. True. Simply incompetent? Probably. Police in central Europe are usually concerned with things like traffic tickets and getting parties that the neighbors have complained about to be a little quieter. Stopping a group of a thousand nice people who have done nothing wrong but who are still walking where police told them not to walk is definitely outside their area of expertise.
