Athens News story on the studio scuffle, which also notes the inaction of the representatives of the other parties. What's IMHO much worse is the barely controlled Chryssi Avgi attacks on immigrants (for which they then deny responsibility).

The Athens News editorial may be soft compared to the MSM attacks, but it is in stark contrast to their superficially pro-SYRIZA ridiculing of the established parties and MSM headlines, so I really don't know what to think when they say "real change".

On the SPD-cops issue, I don't have a single source, but this connects to stuff discussed in the recent tussle over Thälmann. The SPD was in the federal government for some time, and ran the government of Prussia state for even more time. The SPD replaced the top leadership of the Prussian Police, but not the lower officers and common cops. Although the SPD leadership was complicit in the events of 1929 called Bloody May (their minister issued the ban and didn't pursue repercussions against police excesses), that was partly because they couldn't rely on police, and indeed Social Democrats were killed in the lethal police attacks, too. Later, in July 1932, there was the Bloody Sunday of Altona (now part of Hamburg), when it was again police called in by an SPD man ran amok. A few days later the SPD government of Prussia was toppled in a semi-coup (Preußenschlag), with some police cooperating with the coup and all the rest standing down, as the SPD choose to not call on them to defend the government (officially to avoid a civil war, and obviously because loyalty wasn't certain). Later Göring became Prussia's interior minister (and created the Gestapo out of a branch of the Prussian Police).
