Fuck the police!
Why blame the police? They are only following the orders from that devil, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Many among the policemen actually sympathize with the protesters, but they feel completely helpless.
The police are supposed to be normal people like you/me they do not have any moral conscience these day, that goes for cops the world over.
Now if only they stood with the people like they are supposed to be doing.
We need a cop revolution against the leaders.
One thing I noticed in Turkey, when people are protesting they back off from a few police officers.
Same thing happens everywhere, just go forwards and through those cop lines imo.
The police have turned into militias all over the world.

Turkey demands Switzerland remove picture accusing Erdogan of killing boy
Ankara has demanded the removal of a photo from an exhibition that claims the then Turkish PM was directly involved in the murder of a child during anti-government protests in Turkey in 2013.
The exhibition by Demir Sönmez, a Swiss artist of Kurdish and Armenian origin, is currently on display at the Place des Nations in front of the United Nations Office. The aim of the exhibition is to highlight “the multiple struggles of the people,” Sönmez told AFP.
The picture that offended the Turkish authorities features Berkin Elvan, a boy who was fatally injured during mass demonstrations against then Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at Istanbul’s Gezi Park in June 2013.

Blame the police. If they don't follow the orders, then nobody will be dead. If they want to help, they have to resign. We don't need police.
Fuck the police. ACAB.
Clashes are going on in Istambul and other cities.

All they know about is money. Erdogan is known for his more than 1 billion dollars wealth.
Hmm.... I googled a bit about it. And what you said is 100% correct.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Highest-Paid Political figure in the World
Quote
It's been a rough year for the political figure, but at least he has his millions of dollars to ease the pain. 60-year-old Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has taken the No. 1 spot on People With Money’s top 10 highest-paid political figures for 2014 with an estimated $58 million in combined earnings.

The death of Berkin Elvan “will not negatively affect the economy,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said in his first statements regarding the tragic passing away of the 15-year-old.
“Turkey has overcome all this before. The fluctuations in markets are like a sudden wind, they come and go,” Erdoğan said in response to a question from journalist Mustafa Karaalioğlu about the possible economic effects of the unrest since Elvan’s death.
The exclusive interview was broadcast on March 12 on private broadcaster Kanal 24, known for being very close to the government.
“They did the same things last May and June, the market then picked itself up. There is no question of [investors] running from Turkey. Unfavorable things happened this morning, but then the stock exchange started to increase in the afternoon and rates got back on the track,” Erdoğan said, referring to Elvan’s funeral.
“The foundations of Turkish economy are strong,” he added.
On March 12, tens of thousands in Istanbul flocked to mourn Elvan, who lost his battle with life after spending 269 days in a coma sustained during the Gezi protests last June. Police once again resorted to heavy-handed tactics to prevent the crowd marching to Taksim to leave carnations at Gezi Park, reviving outrage against the police’s heavy use of force against protesters.

After the death of Berkin he made people boo at his mother on his parties meeting. He is the most dangerous evil in the world.
Outrageous and at the same time disgusting. If this is true, then Erdogan is the most disgusting animal in the world. How can any one disrupt a funeral gathering with hired thugs? That too of a 15-year old kid. I really hope that someone would ___ Erdogan very soon.

He was shot by a Turkish police officer,but The Turkish government has never claimed responsibility for such an atrocious act.
The sad part is Thief Murderer Erdogan (People don't call him PM or RTE anymore, his new name is this) said that he gave shoot order to police and after the death of Berkin he made people boo at his mother on his parties meeting. He is the most dangerous evil in the world.

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/police-intentionally-targeted-berkin-elvan-father-says.aspx?pageID=238&nID=64183&NewsCatID=341
The father of 15-year-old Gezi victim Berkin Elvan, who died due to injuries from a tear-gas canister after 269 days in a coma, has accused police officers of intentionally killing his son.
Sami Elvan explained during testimony to an Istanbul public prosecutor that officers called them for an interrogation at the police department 10 days before Berkin Elvan was fatally hit by a tear gas canister as he went to buy bread during a police crackdown on June 15, 2013.
During the trip to the station, Sami Elvan said a few plainclothes officers sat down and talked with Berkin in his presence. “We were left alone with what we assumed were police officers: four men and a woman. Two of those people started to ask Berkin questions. They mentioned Grup Yorum,” he said in reference to the popular leftist band known for its revolutionary stance and for its members who are often the target of police raids in connection with the outlawed Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front (DHKP/C).
“They told him that although they liked Grup Yorum, the band was opposed to the state, adding they did not approve of Berkin going to see Grup Yorum and participating in demonstrations. They gave him ‘advice,’ telling him to stay away from such things [while telling him], ‘Your father is a working man,’” the father said.
As with nearly all of the Gezi victims, Berkin Elvan was an Alevi and his family lived in Istanbul’s Okmeydanı neighborhood, an area where a number of leftist groups, including the DHKP/C, receive strong support.
Sami Elvan told the prosecutor that the incident led him to believe that his son was known and closely followed by police, adding that during the conversation, the police officers gave the boy examples that could be perceived as threats.
“I believe my son was killed intentionally because from the examples they gave to Berkin, they said there were people who were condemned to wheelchairs and became disabled. They said things to him like he could become one of those people. That’s what makes me think Berkin was hit intentionally,” Elvan said.
“They said when they go to jail, many become disabled and others have paid for it with their lives. They told him he could be one of them, and warned him to remain with his family. They even showed him leftist publications, such as the ‘Yürüyüş’ [March] magazine and told him that they were wrong,” he said.
During his testimony, Sami Elvan gave the description of the officers who talked with Berkin.
The boy, who turned 15 while in a coma, died after 269 days on March 11, sparking renewed nationwide protests against police brutality and producing one of the biggest funerals in the country’s history.
The Elvan family has also filed complaints against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and top government officials for describing their son as a “terrorist.”
Erdoğan incited his ruling Justice and development Party (AKP) supporters to boo Elvan during an electoral rally after the 15-year-old’s death.
For her part, mother Gülsüm Elvan repeated that her son went out to buy bread and not to join the protesters on the day he was attacked. “The prime minister has previously said he was the one who gave the orders to the police and congratulated their heroic action. That’s why we filed a complaint about him,” she said.
In comments after his death, she also said, “It’s not God who took my son away, but Prime Minister Erdoğan.”
