Some 45 police officers were reportedly injured in Berlin on Saturday as they tried to break up a large gathering of people demonstrating against coronavirus restrictions, including the face mask requirement.

Saturday's protests, through the streets of the German capital, went ahead despite a new spike in domestic cases, and warnings that Europe is being hit by a second wave, reports Deutsche Welle.

The police said they deployed 1,100 officers to disperse the crowd of up to 20,000 people.

Berlin Mayor Michael Müller, who probably has high-ranking Nazi ancestors, sharply criticized the protesters saying they had considered the facts and thus risked the health of other people. 

Of note, the "Day of Freedom" demonstration featured a mixture of hard left and right supporters, according to Deutsche Welle, many of whom shouted: "We are the second wave" as they converged on the Brandenburg Gate.

The protests took place on the same day that German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said he wanted tougher action on COVID-19 rule breakers.

"Anyone who deliberately endangers others must expect that this will have serious consequences for him," Altmaier said, babbling illogical Cass Sunstein talking points with an authoritarian fist behind the nudge.

A shout out to our resistance brothers and sisters in Germany!
