Police in Berlin have requested thousands of reinforcements from other parts of Germany to cope with planned protests by people opposed to coronavirus restrictions. Officers avoided shooting the cannons directly at protesters because there were children in the crowd, and they worked slowly and methodically to disperse the crowd, Berlin police spokesman Thilo Cabiltz said. The protest crowd thinned significantly by late afternoon as many demonstrators marched back to the city's main train station, chanting and blowing whistles. German authorities took the rare step Tuesday of banning a series of protests directly outside the parliament building due to security concerns. “If that does not help, the only course that remains is to disperse the gathering,” the department said on Twitter.
