3 squads with in total 220 riot cops from Berlin were send home on Tuesday. The riot cops were in Hamburg during preparations of the G20 summit. In the night from Sunday to Monday riot cops were partying until 06:30am. The 3 riot squads from Berlin arrived on Sunday. Cops were seen having sex in public and urinating in a group on fences. Meanwhile neighbours had complained about “party noise” from the camp, while property damage was also reported. “One female officer was seen dancing on a table dressed only in a bathrobe with a weapon in her hand,” said B.Z. daily, which published photos of the cops posing with their drinks as well as the dining site in disarray after the party. Some of the cops involved stated they had no TV and were bored.

Earlier today more than 200 riot cops stole a oldtimer water canon of St. Pauli fans. The oldtimer was often used during demonstrations (as a sound truck).

The cops stated that the water canon had no operating license but the lawyer of the owner said that the cops had no right to take the oldtimer as it had an operating and park license. In that case its ordinary theft.

The oldtimer water canov was also used in this NoG20 mobilisation clip:
