Germany, what happened in Cologne (Köln) and other cities on New Year's Eve? I can't find videos or photos of violence. Bottle smashing and civilian fireworks seem common on New Year's in Germany.

I have looked for videos in Cologne, Germany so I can understand the typical situation.

2015 New Year's Cologne, Germany

A British 17 year old reports to the BBC

Long video with a person recording from farther away and facing, I believe, the train station. Appears to be mostly darker skinned males. archive.org link | archive.is link

Short video with German news narration (English translation) from a lower view of the previous video. Appears to be mostly darker skinned males. archive.org link | archive.is link

other years of New Year's Cologne, Germany

New Year's Fireworks in Cologne from an apartment terrace, uploaded Jan 1, 2015 archive.org link | archive.is link

You must watch out, where it can the firework will fly and accidentally hit you. The people fired out together the fireworks near the Köln Dome, Germany. Taken on 31th December 2011. Appears to be mostly a mix of lighter skinned individuals. archive.is link

Fake Videos and Pictures

Be careful what you look for. For example, I found this video from 2010 which seems to be from Britain with a renamed title and description. archive.is link
