| Description: | The Berlin Police Show is an annual phenomenon - 100,000 people turning out to cheer the cops. They stage a wet obstacle race before their motorcycle gymnastics that have the spectators gasping. Opening ceremony inside a German stadium. In the center of the field you see different police regiments standing at attention. Obstacle course, two officers run and jump into these large semi deep pools of water, crawling through tunnels and then they run and jump through simulated windows. The spectators love the exhibition as they applaud the police officers. Police Officers riding motorcycles and performing stunts on them. A motorcycle with a ladder attached to it, a policeman climbs it and stands on his hands on the top rail. Six policemen on a motorcycle. Two motorcycles and a total of 12 or more policemen stacked up forming a pyramid. | |
