Cop accused of dumping oil on climate protester blocking road

WARNING: Distressing Content. A police officer in Germany was accused of dumping oil on a radical climate protester accused of blocking the road and the matter is currently being investigated for potential disciplinary action.

The climate activists from Letzte Generation (“Last Generation”) glued their hands to the Konrad-Adenauer Bridge in Manheim, Germany, on Sept. 3.

The climate activists made allegations that some in the group were intentionally doused with oil, and provided a video showing at least one instance where a police officer holding a container of oil spilled it on one of the activists, who wear orange vests in their protests.

The alleged oil was used to separate the activists’ hands from the pavement.

The tactic of gluing their hand to the road has been used by climate activists to raise awareness of climate change.
