I loosly translate only parts:

"Fruits and other soft objects were used that were filled/peppered with razorblades and small cut-blades (from craftsman-kits). On impact these supersharp blades cut open uniforms of hit officers... "

Imagine what such sick things would cause on a human body that is not protected by the body-armour of riot police, or when hitting riot police at unprotected body areas during a rumble.

"Bigger rocks were fired by using Deuserbänder (rubber-bands, several cm wide and 1-2 meter long that physiotherapist Deuser first has introduced to physiological rehabilitation and power training of the German national football team). with these rubber bands, rocks the size of children's heads had been fired at the police (like huge catapults)... We are convinced that the Chaoten (the thugs) have bunkered their material (in ammonitions and weapon) since weeks, amongst this even smoke grenades and yellow smoke from Eastern Europe."

Rocks the size of heads, fired by catapults. The article also says that the onslaught was so brutal and aggressive that the police was not able to keep them at minimum distance, needing to accept close infight - this is the reason why the number of wounded officers is so high.

In another article, a spokesman of the police union today said he could imagine that during a repetion of such brutal events, orders for sharp shooting eventually could be - and should be - given.

I myself stand by my argument of using sharp ammuntion to shoot at their legs. If that means hitting fourthousand legs, so be it. Only two thing sare important in this: that they are prevented from continuin to injure or kill police, and that they canot run away and escape being brought to court and serve a penalty for intended murder.
