On Monday night, activists carried out an action targeting the headquarters of the Danish arms company Terma in Lystrup.
The company produces weapons components for Israel, which uses these components in the genocide against Palestinians. The activists were subjected to police violence as officers attempted to disperse them

    So . . . I like to think that’s kinda new . . . right? Or are Danish police as pigfucking ignorant and untrained as our own rat-tattoed good ol’ boy force over here in ‘murikah?

      As a Dane I’d like to believe we have better trained police here, with more focus on deescalation instead of using force. I’m pretty sure the training here is also longer. But from this clip it sure doesn’t look like it.

        From the outside looking in, I don’t feel like they’re going to kill me or arrest me for stupid shit. I don’t get the same “hunted for sport” anxiety levels being around Danish cops, but it’s pretty clear to me that there’s a significant amount of right wing populism from the blue collar working class siding against Enhedslisten and other kommunistiske aligned groups that has lead to public support for shit like this. I’ve noticed a substantial amount of dinner table racism against immigrants and those aforementioned blue collar folk more commonly aligning with Dansk Folkeparti and Danmarksdemokraterne. I haven’t really hard anyone openly backing Borgernes Parti, but I think people probably kinda shut the fuck up about that one unless they’re in like-minded company.

    I guess this means the Danish political sphere is very “trump like” and that trump will be able to get Greenland after all.

      Why would they get a slap on the wrist for doing as commanded by their superior officers?
