The old woman and the policeman – Not a current scuffle!

Facebook is often used as a pillory, and people don't shy away from using old pictures.

For example, a relevant Facebook account, which claims, for example, that the Federal Republic of Germany does not exist and that all police officers act as private citizens, is now sharing a picture of a scuffle between an old woman and a police officer - of course with the request to share the photos to share to find the police officer.

When, where, who, why?

The policeman's clothing is already unusual, as caps like the one he wears are not really common in this country. It is therefore questionable whether this even happened here, but of course the reason why a police officer wrestles an old lady down is also of interest.

The woman was the oldest participant in the organization “ Inviernos al Sol ”, which was protesting in Madrid . However, this did not happen recently, but on February 7, 2013 .

a video of the events appeared on the RadioISM Murcia YouTube channel , including the photos above. The old woman also speaks in the video and says that she broke through the police barriers, which is why a police officer then grabbed her and wrestled her to the ground.

The photos are also currently circulating in Spain, with claims that the woman was wrestled down by the police officer because she was not wearing a protective mask. Maltida 's Spanish fact-checkers also confirm that the photos are over seven years old and were taken in a completely different context.

The images can also be found in an article on the Catalyunya Press from February 8, 2013, in which the police officer's behavior towards the old woman was sharply criticized.

Conclusion

Quite apart from the fact that such private search calls are already criminally relevant , there is no point in sharing seven-year-old pictures from another country in a completely different context in order to get clicks - you only make yourself less credible.
