when if an extremely left-propagandastic paper like the TAZ admits in the article where oyu got that picture that the call for the demonstration amongst others has been heared by "vor allem Autonome, Mitglieder antifaschistischer Gruppen, Globalisierungsgegner" - in other words: the very well-known major trouble-makers who time and again turn violent and declare urban warfare on the street if given the chance to do (I only remind of Berlin last years), then I see no wrong in the police being ready. If they would have underestimated it and would have sent too little forces while three times as many autonomous and anarchic thugs would have come and started to turn the city into a civil warzone, they would have been under fire by critics again - after their officer being chased through the streets like in Berlin where they payed a very heavy, a record toll in injured officers.
Readiness is all. As far as I heared, no big problems have appeared so far. If you are strong you can decide wether you use that strength, or not. But when you are weak, you can only suffer what the others do to you. The police was ready. I see no wrong in it.
Students shall protest, fine. But I wonder why they must tolerate autonomous thugs and hooded trouble makers in their middle, even more so when we have a Vermummungsverbot in Germany, making ignoring it a clear provocation. You get judged by the company you chose. Fly with the crows - get shot with the crows.
