Bavaria passed a new law that allows police to carry hand grenades
what the fuck are they supposed to do with those
how did anyone argue for that
(they're also allowed to store, delete and change digital data, have more rights regarding telco and post surveillance, can detain people for three months preventatively… this is making me sick)

@noiob thanks, much appreciated!

@noiob I can’t remotely envision a group tasked with protecting and serving citizens domestically having any use for throwable bombs
Unless of course, the task was actually to control and suppress

@noiob 1) acab
2) this reminds me of how cops carrying fucking rifles sometimes shows up at one of the train stations I'm at every day
police violence, gerpol
@noiob like, the FUCK you gonna do with a rifle inside a building? it's literally useless and them standing there makes me more anxious than anything else
police violence, gerpol
@noiob
its dangerous when rights of intelligence sevice and police get mixed up. last time we had this in germany it was called gestapo
police violence, gerpol
I don't know any situation that could be improved by police having hand grenades??? what were they thinking?
