About

German Zoomer Cop is the nickname of a police officer with a zoomer perm haircut seen in a viral video of German policeman using a "pain grip" to remove eco-protestors from a street in Germany. The video was originally posted online in October 2023 and went viral on X / Twitter that November, inspiring memes and reactions about the so-called zoomer cop, often using Gen Z slang alongside images of the man.

Origin

On October 1st, 2023, The Scottish Sun YouTube[1] channel posted a video titled "German police continue to use controversial 'Pain Grip' to remove eco protesters." In the video, police escort a member of the Just Stop Oil protest group "The Letzte Generation" off a road using a purportedly controversial technique referred to as "the pain grip," in which the wrist is forced forward to cause pain.[2] The video gained over 21 million views in a month (shown below).

On November 16th, X[3] user @navyhato reposted the video, writing, "German police continue to use controversial 'Pain Grip' to remove eco-protesters," garnering over 5,100 likes in four days. Some viewers made note of a police officer with a zoomer perm who appears around the 00:08-second mark of the video and began referring to him as the "Zoomer Cop."

One early example was posted that day by X[4] user @tacitposthorn, sharing a close-up of the cop, writing, "bussin'," garnering over 6,700 likes in four days (shown below).
