As of noon today....police reports indicate: roughly 100 police injured/wounded...54 individuals arrested and released for a court appearance later, and five shops down-town looted.
On total criminal charges at this point? 87.
Roughly 350-odd folks were stopped and forced to ID themselves.
What the local cops say? Two groups exist.....one being students who didn't destroy anything, and the other around the Zeil shopping district...mostly described as mob-like. Were the mob-players mostly non-German? Well...yeah, police did bring up this description (public TV uttered it as well).
Police looking at video? Yeah....that got brought up....analyzing minute-by-minute and continuing a ID effort. It's possible via the 350 folks ID'ed....and video....another fifty-odd folks will be notified to come in for a judge-session and possible fine/jail-time.
The Zeil district with a lot of cameras? I've walked the district on a number of occasions.....I bet there's at least a hundred cameras there, and there's probably over 3,000 hours of coverage. If you did anything of a stupid nature....caught on video, and they forced you to ID 3 or 4 hours prior....there's a high probability of court action on your calendar. Add onto the cameras....the Romer area about 3 minutes walking....there's probably forty-odd cameras there. The subway areas (I can think of five platforms in the area)....where you might be observed.
Some advice....if you gather for a demonstration/riot in the early part of the 'show'....then the cops approach you for a ID check....it's best to leave then for home and not be stupid.
