Shattered display glass and boarded-up storefronts give MIRROR NOW's Frankfurt report a quieter counterpoint to its nighttime footage of looting and street clashes.
The report shows people smashing shop windows and taking goods, followed by riot police facing fires and debris. Mobile-phone footage later captures a woman shouting in distress inside a ransacked store as people continue removing items.
MIRROR NOW says police officers were injured during the clashes and dozens of people were arrested. Its narrator reports damage to commercial premises, while footage shows water cannons deployed against crowds throwing petrol bombs, rocks and bottles. The report also relays the German interior minister's pledge of legal consequences for those responsible.
The upload has reached nearly 60,000 views before completing its first day, far beyond the channel's usual opening of roughly 2,000 for comparable videos.
Beyond the scenes of destruction, the report places the unrest in the context of wider youth-led demonstrations over education costs and living expenses. It later shifts to Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, showing crowds holding signs and chanting during the nationwide protests.
The largest city in the German state of Hesse and Germany’s fifth-largest city. It lies on the River Main and is home to the European Central Bank.
