How is destroying an arms factory comparable to attacking a non-combative citizen?
That was a thousand year old village n Afghanistan, not an "arms factory", Youtube channel changed the title to make that sound 'justifiable'.

It was in Afghanistan, can't you read
As an aside, how long can Germany's police forces cast their gaze aside to crimes committed by certain groups of the populace?
As this is a conspiracy website I'd almost think anti-immigration and anti-police sentiment in Germany was being encouraged actively by certain policies.
Every time an immigrant commits a crime and it goes underreported or unpunished by the authorities, it breeds a sentiment of 'well somebody needs to do something' and the dreaded 'far right' groups support swells, and I personally can't believe that anybody making policy or advising the downplaying of said crimes, doesn't see this. Every group commits crimes, but people get real uppity when a group is given special treatment.

Tarok Kolache I think.
It took 50,000 pounds of American explosives to level Niaz Mohammad’s village.
The village had become a Taliban stronghold, a virtual factory for bombs that killed and maimed American soldiers.
At the height of the U.S. offensive in late 2010, commanders chose what they considered their best option: They approved an airstrike that flattened all the buildings in town, more than 40, including Mohammad’s home.

To compensate the villagers for the loss of their 100-year-old homes, the U.S. military built them square, concrete rooms.
Though no civilians were killed, the bombardment quickly became one of the most controversial attacks of the war in Afghanistan.
