I have been at the demonstration in Berlin yesterday (1.8.2020) against the things our Government did and
allowed itself to do 'because Corona'.
The march through the city was over 7km long, here some impressions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5XYwqk ... e=youtu.beAt the place shown at 1:40 you see the entrance to the rally area (where the demonstration at the end was to be held with speeches, dance, song and party) that had already been blocked of by police because it was already overpacked, but at that point more than 1/3rd of the march had not even arrived at yet. The people had then been diverted into the parks to both sides of the street (where the main event was to be held).
The main event was interrupted by police a few minutes after it started and forbidden to continue 'because too many people are in the event area, hence risk of infection with covid being too high'. PA got disabled, one of the event manages arrested, assembled people instructed to leave immediately
or else. Sadly too many did that - they sucked at math, Berlin that day had (according to official numbers) ~1500 Policemen on site, there would have been no way to dissolve this about of people without resorting to use of massive force. But about a quarter of the people simply refused to leave, continued to socialize, discuss and dance till way after dusk. Police did (apart from arresting a dozend or two random people for no visible reasons, they just picked up some of the ones sitting there pacefully) not intervene further, their main objective seems to have already been completed by preventing the speeches from happening.
Accordring to the organizer 1.3 million people, according to police I spoke to on the site above (when I passed it, I arrived about 1.5h after the head of the march passed that point) 800,000, according to official media 20,000, according to police on twitter 17,000. As comparison a picture, upper half an impression from Loveparade 2001 where 1 million participants have been counted, lower half a shot of the the exact same event area which had been taken yesterday (what you can't see are the ~20 meters next to the street under the trees, that also have been packed with people):

Clearly you can see that, as reported by quality media, only 20,000 have been there... can't you?
How big has the lie to be for the normal people to notice?
