Roger Waters, co-founder of the rock band Pink Floyd, is under investigation by German police for wearing a costume that he says mocks the Nazis.
And it obviously looks like a Nazi uniform and has a red arm band and everything. But instead of a swastika, it has two crossed hammers that are part of that album’s imagery.
It is meant to be satirical, something Waters has been doing for decades, but it is the first time he has attracted a German criminal investigation, but Berlin police justified it by saying, in part, that “the context of the clothes worn is deemed capable of endorsing or justifying violent and arbitrary judgment”. the Nazi regime in a way that violated the dignity of the victims and thus undermined public peace.” CNN reporter Scott McClain reports.
