Transparent use for fire brigade and police! The left-wing extremists on the notorious Rigaer Strasse 94 (Friedrichshain) had stretched a banner measuring five by two meters across the road.
Fatalities were named on it, who are said to have died as a result of police violence. The slogan: “We will never forgive – police officers are murderers”.
At 9:37 p.m. Monday, Section 51 officers spotted the banner. It was supposed to be removed on Tuesday around 2 p.m. for security reasons. A hundred operations secured the area, the fire brigade provided a turntable ladder, police climbers went up.

But a few seconds later the rope was cut from the house opposite and the banner was pulled to the 3rd floor of Rigaer Straße 94.
“Let’s see how long it stays there,” said a police officer at the scene.
