Ok I don't know, I wasn't there. But on the face of it, somebody sneaking in through the roof, and somebody violent at the front door who doesn't care if he's seen or heard, seem different things entirely.

They didn't sneak. I've said twice now that they "kicked in" a roof panel. That involved literally kicking it and stamping it, with full force, to break it.

Yeah I get it. Not the same as the front door though. Which was available to the thief. And not somebody you knew, yelling your name, trying to get at you. Did I get that part wrong?

It seems everyone is a forensic medical professional now. Did anyone actually read the report? From the medical examiner: "I received and reviewed the Toxicology Report. The findings do not change my opinion regarding the cause and manner of death."

Parent post is not saying that benzos caused the death, but that the benzo + alcohol mix made worse the mental state that caused the death.

I may beg for a godwin point pointing this but, the upper white man was also suffering a mental condition. And as much as poors, coloured, and psychotics or people suffering from mental diseases have a tendency to be treated in a rather unfavorable way by the police forces. They are weak, and not liked by some citizens. And, I think I am gonna win my Godwin Point here stating that making hierarchy in discrimination i…

To be clear, I'm not saying that it would be okay for the police to assault Murdock if he were not white, or not wealthy, not male, or anything else. My point was that if someone believes that the police are systematically targeting the less privileged, then they wouldn't have targeted Murdock. And while yes, Murdock appears to have had some kind of mental illness during all this, it's unfair to say that the police "…

It is fair to say that police in USA is not targeting anyone, and it is also fair to say the majority are not being treated as the powerful.

However, the white mentally ill according to the lack of news regarding the figures tends to put mentally ill people in the majority case, a silent case.

Hence my point of view : discrimination in discrimination leads to awful results.

I'm not sure about Berlin but I heard that Bavaria is frequently called Polizei Staat with a lot of policemen in civil clothing on Munich streets, care to comment on how it compares to Berlin?

tl;dr: Berlin cops hate left-wing activists with a passion, but ignore "casual law breaking", Munich cops are not very violent but very pedantic otherwise. Berlin is anarchy, police brutality and power abuse at its finest - I'm interested what the result of the Rigaer 94 rally in 20h will be. Munich cops don't engage in open violence, esp. not plain-clothes officers, but they do fuck you over for smoking weed, crossi…

> Berlin is anarchy

Perhaps you could gain some perspective by traveling in Somalia for a few weeks. Berlin is nowhere close to "anarchy"; this is absurd hyperbole that simply weakens your overall argument.
