Not that I don’t believe that would be something Germany would do, but do you have any actual source? A single 9-second video is unlikely to show enough context to see what’s happened…and that would be if the 9 second video actually worked. I tried in both Firefox and Edge—Firefox told me it just couldn’t play it, and Edge pretends it’s playing it and that it’s a 9 second video, but doesn’t show anything at all, or play any audio.
Is worth so much more to me as evidence than the video itself.
off topic: saw the same guy also tweeted that apparently Hans Zimmer (briefly) had a post up in support of Palestine. It wouldn’t make me like his music (or worse: his impact on the world of film music), but he came so close to doing something I could respect…
James Jackson is a pretty credibly source. He is a journalist himself and frequently reports on events which receive no attention from the German media. He did some great journalism on Ghassan Abu Sittah early when the entire German media was smearing the Palestinian surgeon https://xcancel.com/derJamesJackson/status/1790768391004778516
The Hans Zimmer thing was a while ago. Some people online checked on it and said it was real as well but Hans simply deleted his statement. However I did not confirm that.
As for this instance, usually James Jackson is very early with the reports so if it happened it can take one to four days before other media start reporting on it, if they are interested in it that is.
FWIW, in Germany you don’t have the right to free speech, you have the right to your own opinion, but it can be regulated what/how you share that in public.
This is mostly also true in the US but they have a wonderful fairytale about free speech being protected at all costs to confuse people. You can’t yell “fire” in a crowded theater, you can’t knowingly defame people, you can’t post you opinion on publicly traded companies without disclosing if you hold stocks in them, you can’t show your nipples in many public spaces. It is not as regulated as Germany, but it is regulated some.
Not sure why that’s relevant, because the issue here isn’t “free speech” per se, it’s “Germany is arresting people because it thinks they might be anti-genocide”.
Which is a really bad look, especially for Germany, given its history.

It plays for me without audio but you aren’t missing much. They walk down the street with him, a cop points to his clothes, the end
Ah thanks. So it’s as I suspected, it doesn’t really actually prove the claim?
Correct, just a vague video

Oh thanks. Honestly, the reply tweet:
