Car 54 couldn’t make it. Man oh man. I want to see this puppy in action sooo bad.
It’s the Berlin Police Department’s brand-new water canon monster WaWe (as in Wasserwerfer) 10, specifically designed to stop those pesky May Day riots in a jiffy, without undue harm to the protesters (and hopefully washing them thoroughly in the process, as well).
But as fate would have it, this year’s anniversary festivities look like they’re going to be pretty lame after all. Kids these days. Who knows, though. Maybe something will ignite that smoldering fuse of indignation in an hour or two once the sun starts setting and WaWe 10 will get its chance to roll out into action after all, all magestic and Robocop-like. And wet. Sexy, isn’t she?
Does anybody out there know if there’s a riot-cam thingy I could link to just in case this party ever does get started?
Die für den Nahbereich gedachte “Wasserwand” soll Protestler nur nass machen und zum Gehen bewegen, ohne zu verletzen.
Observing Hermann 
Vice has a riot cam and it’s streaming on uberlin. I can’t guarantee the WaWe 10 will show up though.
You would think they could have dusted off some of the DDR’s old equipment.
