Which law allows violance against freedom of speech?

[u/ikarusproject → u/[deleted]]

Um no? Freedom of speech obviously is the freedom to speak out against authority.

Maybe look it up instead of making it up as it pleases you.

Freedom of speech allows you to speak your mind. It does not absolve you of facing repercussions. And I'm talking about getting taken into custody, the punches to the face aren't acceptable and the responsible offers should be removed from service.

Moving the goalpost. Previous comment said that freedom of speech doesn't allow to speak up against government and police because surely they can't be wrong.

Understanding German law.

Previous comment

Not mine. I don't give a fuck what others think it is.

So show me the law that allows violence against freedom of speech and why this isn't.

[u/Every-Win-7892 → u/ikarusproject]

Paragraph 185 and following of the German criminal code contains insults, defamations and the likes. All being punishment for the usage of free speech because again Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences.

And how does this justify police violence?

[u/skylu1991 → u/ikarusproject]

Yeah, you’re free to speak out..

Doesn’t mean your free form any consequences though!

If you tell someone to kill or harm somebody else, it’s a crime…
