New Germany: Police 'Appear to Outnumber Participants' in Traditional Parade

On Monday Düsseldorf, like other German cities, held a traditional parade for Carnival. And also like other German cities, Düsseldorf has recently experienced a major influx of cultural enrichment since the Great Migration took off. Bearing in mind their experiences on New Year’s Eve, and also the jihad attack on the Christmas market in Berlin, the Düsseldorf authorities put up roadblocks, vehicle barriers, and checkpoints in the area surrounding the parade street. And above all they deployed extra police — lots and lots of police, many of them carrying automatic weapons — to guard the parade and the spectators from any potential jihad attack.

The following video was taken by a Düsseldorf resident who got to the parade area early so that he could record just how many police were required to keep city residents safe during Carnival.
