Of uninvited guests and brutal side effects reactions reported in our article "riots in Facebook party in Greiz: Police closed event". The host of the party is justified, as the police rejects about tough measures strictly as described in the online comments about the post.Greiz. Thus, the host of the festival, which ran into the early hours of last Sunday out of hand, said that he had probably been invited on Facebook, but not publicly, but only his friends. With about 70 people have celebrated it in the "hungry wolf" says the 17-year Greizer (name withheld). At about 2.15 clock it had then given a commotion at the door, as were advancing around 150 people, describes the hosts. "We did not. An injured lying on the road." A friend had called the police, which was obviously already knew about it.
Only one vehicle had come later, several police cars and policemen with dogs who wanted to clear the road, they say. In the tumult could also have been ignited firecrackers. The hosts have certainly responded to the instructions of the police. So be the party finished and the uninvited guests dispersed. Up against 4 of the 17-year clock nor have swept the road.
In Internet commentaries police actions that night as "brutal", "reckless" and "inexcusable" condemned. Of "fighting dogs", "stick wielding lawmen" and even "gas grenades" is mentioned. Allegations that the police inspection chief Thomas Lenk has strictly back. First, the crowd was in the street very cooperative, so that support personnel were justified. "The sending off was to enforce. Our guard dog handlers are trained, they put the animals not as a weapon. And gas grenades we have not also included." Steering urges all witnesses or possibly injured to report to the police in order to elucidate the events. Also any police violence that could be examined in this way.
