'Sentences should not be given in the streets', 'Hippie bashing should be stopped', 'The police act as gang members' - were some of the one-liners delivered by the association of Forældre mod Politibrutalitet (parents against police brutality).
They referred for one example to the demonstration for Palestine in Copenhagen 13th January this year, where demonstrators were detained - under a paragraph in the law giving the police the right to detain demonstrators for upto six hours under unrest - thus enacting detention in the streets. With no civil right like the right to speak to a lawyer. And as if some superior power heard this, the heavy rains set in during this Constitution Day event. Still, not preventing the group from enjoying and celebrating the day.
