After the little darling gesture of a policewoman, apparently addressed to a participant in a “lateral thinker” demo in Kassel, the consequences under service law are examined.

That said Hesse's Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) on Thursday in the interior committee of the state parliament in Wiesbaden.

The officer from East Hesse reported herself.

A photo of the scene is circulating on social media.

Now a "service law appraisal will be carried out," said Beuth.

The minister defended the police operation at the big demonstration last weekend against criticism.

It would have been “not proportionate” to use batons or water cannons in the event of violations of the mask requirement.

The inspector of the Hessian police, Hans Knapp, called the situation during the police operation in the center of Kassel “confusing” and “dynamic”.

Participants in the “lateral thinker” demonstration could not be distinguished from “normal” visitors.

Investigations against unknown persons in Kassel

During the protests against Corona requirements with more than 20,000 participants, there had been violent clashes last Saturday.

Numerous demonstrators did not adhere to minimum distances and mask requirements.

Around a dozen demonstrations and rallies by various groups from the "lateral thinker" scene as well as several counter-demonstrations had been registered with the city of Kassel, all of which were initially banned.

The Hessian Administrative Court allowed, subject to certain conditions, an assembly entitled “Compliance with fundamental rights and democracy.

For peace, freedom and solidarity ”with up to 6000 participants.

The unauthorized lifts that would have formed in Kassel on Saturday are now being determined "against unknown", as the survey in the interior committee revealed.

No responsible party could have been identified.

The organizer of the approved demonstration, however, adhered to the conditions.
