Due to the growing negative public opinion about the cops and encouraged by more and more victims of racist or otherwise motivated police violence coming forth with their stories, we experience in recent times that an increasing number of people speak of their experiences with the cops whenever we are in the proletarian neighborhoods or directly seek our contact. Henceforth, we document some of the most recent assaults in Freiburg:

With the pretext of combating “Clan Criminality” a series of raids was carried out in several cities in the Ruhr Area past Saturday, hitting cities such as Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Bochum, Wuppertal, Duisburg and Dortmund. Just as the electoral campaigns for the upcoming state elections in Northerhine-Westphalia on September 13 are starting, the State Government attempts to make a big fuzz about itself, with press releases and pictures during raids being a cornerstone in the political profiles of politicians such as NRWs Minister of the Interior Herbert Reul.

Kristiansand. On 15.08, the so-called "Independence Party" held a manifestation to gather signatures in order to participate in elections. This party is a fascist party, and their so-called "criticism of religion" is just covered-up racism. The party was established by central members of the "Alliance" and "Stop Islamization of Norway", among whom several are convicted racists. These groups have contact to the fascists of the "Nordic Resistance Movement", ties to European fascist organizations and collaborate with the racist "Democrats" in Kristiansand. The Struggle Committee organized a demonstration against these fascists. Leaflets were distributed against the "Independence Party" together with water and face masks, and many stickers with the text "Nazi Free Zone" were put up around the manifestation. The Struggle Committee writes: "During the demonstration, the activists did a good job shouting slogans and were positively received by people on the street. The fascists talked to almost nobody and got extremely few signatures. It didn't seem like they were even trying. They practically sat still and looked dull, and also used the time to play a few levels of Candy Crush. After an hour, the police left and asked us to end the demonstration, because they didn't have the resources to protect anymore. The "Good Cop Tactic" they have used during the last two demos cracked up today, since they allowed the fascists to stand for five hours and limited our demo to just one hour. This annoyed both demonstrators and passersby, and only confirms what we knew before, that the police is on the side of the fascists".
