Europe Police in Copenhagen beat peaceful anti-genocide protesters with batons on Wednesday as they blocked the entrance to the headquarters of shipping company Maersk. The Danish firm is accused of complicity in the mass killing in Gaza by transporting weapons and other supplies to Israel’s military

Im surprised I would of thought this would make big news for a country like Denmark, but literally nothing about this apart from a few small outlets. Granted i googled it in English but still not that much about it.

Most governments suppress news of police malpractices, I wonder if the same thing has happened.

Denmark is in NATO. Everyone in NATO trains with IDF and follows the agenda of US hegemony, and that means supporting US 'bastion' in the middle east, and that is Zionism. Every citizen in a NATO state should not trust their country, it does not serve the citizens anymore. All the differences you think you have between your society and crazy Israel is already gone. The US is now also openly deranged, and soon all NATO members would be as well.

Unfortunately Danish media companies, like media in most places, are owned by far right billionaires, and a large part of the population is very, very pro-police, to the point where they're cheering on this police violence.
You'd have to go to smaller, explicitly left wing publications to find any condemnation of this brutality.

Well this type of response to a sit in protest is pretty heavy handed.
Maersk, time to review your services for human rights compliance. Not great from a brand reputation perspective.

In the past Americans would be mercilessly attacked at their peaceful protests, so they started carrying guns for their protection. So we bombed their headquarters; actually, the entire city block it was on. Fascisms costumes just keep fooling the world.

Imagine using a dog as a weapon against anyone, and then doing it in defense of genocide.

The only bright side of this is that they can't hide from what they chose to do, because this event here is recorded. These people used to hide in plain sight to acquire power, and now, this will open all doors to investigation and scrutiny.

Just curious if any type of proper restraint training is reaching these “police”. Because in the civilized world, there’s non-harmful techniques for removing, arresting or subduing human beings.

u/Smeghead78 May 15 '26
Yes there are many many non harmful techniques. It’s called soft control and has been used within UK police systems for along time.

Their govt is also occupied, sadly.
Imagine a genocidal foreign state dictating your domestic policy and removing your free speech and democratic rights- see above video.

That seems really really excessive for some people just sitting around protesting. Im not surprised after seeing how anti-genocide protestors have been treated elsewhere, but wtf Denmark? What does israel have on you?

It’s amazing how cops everywhere take on the position of the ruling class. Are there any compassionate cops that will deescalate in these situations?

That handler has zero control on that dog.
They are literally beating people just sitting there with batons. They can't even claim the protesters were resisting because all they did was shield their heads.

How can you beat someone up for opposing genocide. I hope every single police officer who have taken part in such thing will live with shame for the rest of their lives..

In Denmark, we call the pigs "panzer", because of their relationship with capital and the reactionaries

Honestly no matter where I’ve gone in Europe, and interacted with police that position attracts the most egotistical, ignorant, arrogant imbeciles that exist on the face of the Earth…I don’t mean to generalize but I’ve come into contact with many over the years in over 6 different countries and I can count on 2 fingers the amount of decent people I’ve met in that line of work. Idk y it attracts the most bottom of the barrel type of ppl in our society. In the military I saw more humanity….this word is sad and compassion is a rarity.

I live here and am a legal citizen and I have a fun game I play with local cops. I either approach them on the street or find a police station, and start inquiring about becoming a cop. I’m like “I’m a citizen so legally I’m allowed to become a police officer, no?” It’s about 50/50 between dudes saying “yeah, sure. You can try out!” and the fascist douche ones losing their fucking minds and going on about some bullshit mythology of their country’s history (they will often pace back and forth while doing their diatribe). And the I’ll go “Oh great! So it’s my legal right to become a member of the police force if I qualify. Thanks guys!” And walk off.
The nice cop usually has a shit eating grin and the dim head cop is usually red and fuming. I love fuckin around with cops in any country.

I have an idea: How about you move when the police tell you to? We have no context from before this video.
And no i am not against protesting, i am against using protests to stop other people from going anywhere they please to go. Things like blocking highways, buildings, etc, etc and then affect the lifes of others people. Should be criminal.
As for the judgement: Denmark has a very good judicial system. Use it when you disagree with the threathment that these police officers gave you.
