Germany: COVID protests put police under ‘huge strain’

German Police Union (GdP) said it was concerned about the psychological consequences faced by police officers deployed at protests against COVID-19 measures.

“The many coronavirus protests are putting a huge strain on our forces,” union national chairman Oliver Malchow told Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND).

Police officers are deployed from one state to another to deal with the numerous demonstrations taking place across Germany, he said in comments published Wednesday.
