Die Polizei ist komplett entfesselt! Sie kennt keine Zivilisation mehr: Schädel-Hirn-Trauma, offene Brüche, sehr viele Krankenwagen danach. Die Polizei ENTZIEHT den friedlichen Demonstrierenden sogar den Schutz. So ist ein Auto in eine Menge gefahren!
Das Ganze muss ein Nachspiel haben!

Molecular 'snapshots' illustrating the potential effects of chain length and nucleosome positioning on large-scale chromatin folding. A. Smoothly deformed array of 78 nucleosomes with uniform 177-bp spacing. B. 77-nucleosome chromatin 'copolymer' containing three stretches of nucleosomes with different spacings: a compact array of 26 nucleosomes (deep brown) with 172-bp spacing at the 5́-end of the chain; an extended array of 26 nucleosomes (light brown) with 177-bp spacing in the middle; an opened array of 25 nucleosomes (yellow) with 207-bp spacing and a nucleosome-free gap at the 3́-end of the chain. Note the more pronounced junction between ‘helical’ stretches when the spacing changes by roughly a half turn of DNA (172 – 177 = –5 bp) than when altered by a multiple of the double-helical repeat (207 – 177 = 30 bp). The presence of a nucleosome-free gap, within the stretch of nucleosomes spaced at 207-bp intervals, enhances the flexibility of the modeled structure, allowing the chain to bend in various directions
