Berlin: Afghan Refugee Tries To Drown Girl In 2°C River

An original translation from B.Z. (Berliner Zeitung):

Berlin-Spandau: 19-year-old wanted to drown girl (17) in the Havel
Dec. 19., 2017
The young man pushed the 17-year-old into the river and repeatedly tried to press her under water

A relationship argument between a young woman (17) and her boyfriend (19) – according to B.Z. investigations an Afghan asylum seeker  – ended in the only two degree [Celsius; 35.6°F] cold water of the Havel at the Spandauer Burgwall! With dramatic consequences for the man: he submerged, and was rescued by firefighters. He had to be reanimated. He was taken to hospital to the intensive care unit for further treatment.

Girl saved herself to the riverside
The girl was able to save herself to the riverside and climb up a ladder at the walls. She was taken to hospital with hypothermia. As the German girl tells the police and the rescue teams, her boyfriend angrily pushed her into the water after an argument. He then jumped in, too, and tried to push her under water to drown her.

The police confirm this course of events in their press release of Tuesday afternoon. The fourth homicide commission began investigations. „The man is the suspect. He had to be resuscitated“, says a police speaker.

Rescuers in fear
B.Z. spoke to the gas station attendant at the ship-gas-station at Spandauer Burgwall: „I saw how the soaking wet, frightened girl was taken into the ambulance.“ About a minute later, a commotion broke out among the rescuers. They ran back to the water and searched for the woman’s boyfriend. „A tug was just about to land for tanking at my station, we were barely able to redirect it.“ Then, a boat of the water police arrived, and pulled the man from the water.

Germany: Syrians Get Into “Religious” Argument in Integration Class, Stab Each Other

An original translation from Neue Rhein/Ruhr Zeitung:

Argument in the Integration Class: Man Wounded With Knife
Rita Meesters
Dec. 19., 2017

WESEL. Syrian woman comes into conflict with two men in an integration class, her boyfriend afterwards gets critically injured. Homicide Department is investigating.

As a consequence of an argument among the participants of an integration class, on Monday evening around 5PM, a 23-year-old was critically wounded by a knife stab into the stomach. The two suspects, a 36-year-old Syrian and a 41-year-old man from Lebanon, were arrested in the early morning hours of Tuesday in their apartments in Wesel by a special force. One of the men resisted arrest and was injured during the arrest. He is being treated in hospital, the police announces.

Apparently, it was about religious matters
An argument in the integration class in the community college Ritterstraße. A vocal argument broke out between the two 36 and 41-year-old men, and a further participant of the class. According to NRZ information, it was apparently about religious backgrounds, the women apparently was not wearing a headscarf anymore. There had been a conflict lingering between the involved parties for a while. The head of the class and the chief of the communal college, Andreas Brinkmann, tried to pease, and calm down the heated situation.

But the argument continued in front of the communal college building. First, a man who is an acquaintance of the Syrian woman, was lightly injured in the head by a knife. Over the continuing course of the conflict, the 23-year-old, who is allegedly the boyfriend of the woman, suffered a stab in the stomach and was gravely injured. Police established a homicide team. The two suspects were arrested with the support of a special force in their apartments in Wesel.

Exact circumstances still not clarified
Police are still investigating the backgrounds of the deed, Ramon van der Maat of the Duisburg Police announces. It were still unclear who wounded the victim with the knife.

Community college chief Andreas Brinkmann and his team are shocked by the deed: “We never had anything like that before”. The German language classes at the community college existed for twelve years, currently, there are about 500 participants of different nationalities and religions taught in 30 classes – in the classes it were, apart from smaller arguments, quiet and peaceful, says Brinkmann.

Germany – Syrians Stab Down Young German Between Christmas Market Stalls

An original translation from Breaking News Saarland.

Syrians Stab Man Down between Christmas Market Booths
December 17., 2017

Saarbrücken: Yesterday evening at 10:30PM, police received a report about a fight between several people with usage of weapons. According to the report, one person is lying on the ground with a stab wound, while the group of perpetrators has fled.
According to the police’s first investigations, everything starts with the to-be-victim, a 22-year-old from Homburg, and several friends (male and female) taking the train from Homburg to Saarbrücken.
On the train, a verbal argument with the to-be-attackers, three Syrian migrants of the age of 17, 19 and 20 years, occurs. The argument on the train stays verbal. After leaving the train station, the two groups take different directions. The Homburger and his friends walk through the Bahnhofstraße towards St. Johanner Markt.

In the pedestrian zone, the Syrian group ambushes them between the Christmas Market stalls. The migrants threaten the group verbally, insult them, and attack the 22-year-old Homburger with drawn weapons. According to witnesses, the perpetrators are holding a club, a sickle-knife, a throwing knife and a chain whip in their hands.
The attack lightly injures the victim. He receives a stab wound in the shoulder and at the temple, and can leave the hospital later that night.
The perpetrators only cease from their victim when more eye witnesses arrive and because there are loud calls for the police, and run away in different directions.

Three hours after the deed, the attackers were temporarily* arrested on the train to Homburg in St. Ingbert. All three of them were under the influence of narcotics. It is unclear whether this was already the case at the time of the deed. Police are looking for witnesses who can provide information about the deed, or about the prior argument on the train.

* Translator’s note: Yes, “temporarily arrested”, you read that right. Saarbrücker Zeitung, who run this same story under the innocuous title “Man Injured By Knife”, close their report with: “But after the interrogations they were let go again. According to the police headquarters, there were “no reasons for arrest”.”

Germany: An Udderly Ruthless Attack on Federal Police

An original translation from a German Federal Police press release.

BPOLD-B: Federal Police Officers Squirted with Breast Milk
08.12.2017 – 12:55
Jüterbog (Teltow-Fläming) (ots) – Federal Police Officers experienced an unusual attack at the train station Jüterborg last Thursday. Two persons had used the regional express to Jüterborg without a necessary train ticket. At the ensuing control by the Federal Police, the 30-year old woman stripped down completely naked, and squirted breast milk on the officers.

Around 11:30h noontime, Federal Police were called to the train station Jüterborg, to control two persons who had been using the regional express train from Wannsee train station to Jüterborg without a valid train ticket. When the officers wanted to establish the identity of the duo from Cameroon, the 20-year-old and his 30-year-old female companion refused to identify themselves to the officers. On the way to the official vehicle, the young man dropped to the ground, resisted the police, and struck at the officers. Upon this, his 30-year-old companion began screaming loudly, and stripped down completely naked in public. While the officers were handcuffing the 20-year-old, she squirted breast milk from her breasts onto the officers.

After the officers managed to calm down the situation they were able to establish the identity of the two persons. The officers opened investigations for obtaining services surreptitiously. The 20-year-old will have to answer for resisting officers. An investigation for battery is opened against his 30-year-old female companion. After the police procedures were completed, the duo was able to continue their journey.

Unhappy With Accommodation: Refugee “Youths” Demolish Hostel and Police Car

Germany – Unhappy with being placed in a small town, four Afghan refugees vandalized their accommodation with chains and wood laths. They then smashed the windshield of the arriving police car and fled into the nearby forest. There, a large police contingent was able to arrest the youths. The affected accommodation is a therapeutic living group for traumatized, under-aged refugees. It remains uninhabitable for the time being.

An original translation from Straubinger Wochenblatt:

18.11.2017, 16:28 h (CET)
Disturbing pictures from Falkenfels: “People Are Terrified”

County Commissioner Josef Laumer and Member of Parliament Alois Rainer visited the refugee accommodation in Falkenfels.
FALKENFELS After four residents vandalized an accommodation for unaccompanied underaged refugees in the district Hirschberg of Falkenfels (Wochenblatt reported), a crisis summit was held. County Commissioner Josef Laumer and representatives of the operating society, of police, municipality, the office for youth and foreigners, and of the government of Lower Bavaria’s supervision for accommodations, discussed the current situation and determined the line of approach for the future.

In the meantime, the County Commissioner and the Member of Parliament Alois Rainer and Mayor Ludwig Ettl visited the scene.

„This must be prevented by all means in the future, and must not happen again“, said Laumer. „People in the village don’t feel safe anymore. But it is our job to be there for the people in our region. The protection of the public has got utmost priority for me. Therefore I pressed for the three main culprits not returning here. Not to reward them, but out of consideration for the locals’ fears and concerns. Besides, there are many points where we hope for help from Berlin.“

The rioters are four youths (15, 16) from Afghanistan. Three leaders of the gang won’t return to Hirschberg, the administrative district office announced. Besides, there will be a reworked „Crisis and Protection Concept“. Among others, the maximum occupancy in the institution will be six persons. At the time of the riot, seven youths were accommodated there, who had been sent from different youth welfare offices in Bavaria. The accommodation is designed for traumatized, and psychologically conspicuous young people, and is the sole therapeutic institution for underaged refugees in Lower Bavaria.

The executive director of the “Care Association 1:1 Social Partnership registered society“ who operates the accommodation raised eyebrows.
While police had initially estimated the property damage inside and on the building, and at the police car, with 20,000 Euros, the manager now quantified the damage as roughly 3,000 Euro. Wochenblatt have obtained further photo material from the havoc inside the accommodation, which remains uninhabitable. It remains open as to whether the institution will open in Hirschberg again, after the damage is fixed. The operating society announced to relocate the accommodation, as soon as “a suitable location is found elsewhere”, the County Commissioner said.

Clichy muslims double down on Islamic genocidal manifest destiny, sues mayor and counter-protestors

This past week there has been a lot of news about thee illegal street prayers in Clichy. It started with a few, maybe seven, French citizens objecting to the violation of many French laws, but mostly the ones on state secularism:

It was discovered shortly after that the reason for the street prayers was that the mosque offered to them was about a mile away, (1.5 Kms) from the spot of the street prayers and they wanted a mosque right there. Add to that, most of the muslims at this event were bussed in from much farther than a mile.

Then we find out, from the Mayor of Clichy no less, that the muslims have been praying for the murder of Jewish people that any of them may meet in day to day life. Also they handed out literature saying the same.

And now, the muslims have hired a lawyer to sue the mayor and all who protest their illegal protest in the streets.

Thank you Ava-Lon and Oz-Rita and all who translated and worked on these videos.

Be aware people. This is not a set of isolated incidents. This is a manifestation of policy. If you do not get this, it is your demise.

Germany: Hero Police Dog Apprehends Refugees For Sexual Harassment – Female Witnesses Announce To Press Charges Against The Police

An original translation of a press release by the Bundespolizei NRW. (update: we have included a statement of the police at the bottom)

BPOL NRW: After sexual assault in the main train station Dortmund – Federal Police Dog Ivo Apprehends Suspects
13.11.2017 – 10:22

Federal Police ‘Officer’ Ivo. Photo: Bundespolizei

(ots) – Sunday morning (November 12.) sexual harassment against two women on the square in front of the main train station Dortmund was reported. In the manhunt for the suspects, police dog Ivo was able to apprehend three of the suspects. Another suspect was apprehended with the active support of an innocent bystander.

Around 04:00 AM, Police Dortmund informed the Federal Police at the main train station that two women had dialled the police emergency number. Several men were harassing them on the yard in front of the train station.

As part of the search, a large group of men was noted at the northern exit. When they spotted the Federal Police officers, they fled in the direction Nordstadt. Several Federal Police officers pursued them, among them police dog Ivo.

In the Keuning Park, several of the suspects tried to hide, whereupon Ivo was called to action. He picked up the scent of the men and was able to apprehend three persons (18/22/27) in the shrubs. The men froze there, apparently impressed by the barking dog, until the officers were able to arrest them.

One Federal Police officer was able to arrest another 24-year-old suspect at the entrance of the Keuning park, with the help of an innocent bystander.

This deployment against the suspects was observed by two women, who documented the efforts, and noted the license plates of the police cars. Addressed about their demeanor, the women announced that they intend to file criminal complaints against the Federal Police officers. They did not specify what it was exactly that they held against the officers.

According to the two aggrieved women (24/34) from Hamm and Werne, the suspects insulted them, touched them inappropriately, spat on them, and pushed them.
The arrested men are Iraqi nationals, all of wom have asylum applications pending, and who reside in Wuppertal, Bochum and Witten.

The Federal Police have opened investigations against the men for insult, sexual coercion, and sexual harassment. Investigations are ongoing.

Update:
Rundblick Unna obtained a statement by police spokesman Volker Stall as to the two women who announced to sue the officers.

  • The witnesses are, at least apparingly, no compatriates of the four arrested Iraqis, have no migration background. Possibly, but this is not validated, they are from the leftist milieu of Dortmund
  • The action was absolutely normal within the frameworks of how suspects are arrested when they resist orders
  • Ivo, the impressive police dog, kept the men in check solely by his presence and barking. Neither did a suspect suffer a bite wound, nor did the officers act improper to the situation, Stall pointed out. “Everyone just did their jobs.”
  • “So we face possible charges calmly”, he added. But it did make him wonder that, when police officers stop a sexual assault on women, that of all people, other women threaten them with criminal charges.

Wild West in the market in Florence: Shocking brawl between bands of immigrants

From this Italian news site:

The video made by a passerby. Clubs and thrashing. Citizens shout: “Let them kill each other”
Claudio Cartaldo -Wed, 08/11/2017 – 19:33
comments

Clubs, punches, kicks, and (fist) blows among the people. A shocking brawl that could have caused dangers and damage to the many people who on Tuesday night were walking quietly in the market of San Lorenzo in Florence, in a central area of the city, just a stone’s throw from Santa Maria Novella Station .

Everything began around 19.30 from insults and verbal threats that in a short time became the fuse that ignited the brawl. The weapons are the ones that can be found in a market: iron bars , wooden poles, bolts , glass shards, and bikes that were launched literally against people. A true settling of accounts between opposing bands that contend for control of the territory and the square. Masters – in fact – of what should be a public place (for the people).

According to The Nation, two opposing gangs have been colliding against each other: one made up of Bangladesh citizens and one from Pakistani immigrants . Merchants and customers have been forced to barricade themselves in stores to avoid being overwhelmed by what could become a real mess.

Germany: THREE Refugee Accommodations Torched This Weekend! By Nazis? No…

… by their own occupants.

A original translation from B.Z. (Berliner Zeitung):
21 Injured
This Weekend, Germany Saw Three Refugee Hostels Burn

B.Z./dpa November 5, 2017

This weekend, refugee hostels in North Rhine Westphalia, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Bavaria were burning. There are no cues as to the arsons being committed from the outside.

At the fire in the refugee accommodation in Rüthen (North Rhine Westphalia) in the night from Saturday to Sunday, about 20 people suffered light smoke poisoning. Paramedics treated them on-site in the night to Sunday.

An occupant of the accommodation was arrested as the suspect. The 22-year-old Moroccan is suspected to have initiated the fire in his room. The man was inebriated, it was announced. Criminal Police began investigations.

120 asylum seekers saved in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Early Sunday morning, a fire broke out, too, in the fitness room of a refugee accommodation in Jürgenstorf (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). A foam mattress went up in flames. Smoke spread through the whole building. Firemen evacuated all 120 occupants. No one was injured, the damage is minor.

The Police rules out that the arson was committed by outsiders, they are investigating into grave arson.

Room on fire in Bavarian refugee accommodation
Already late Friday evening, there was a room on fire in a refugee accommodation in Ettringen (Bavaria). One occupant was injured. He suffered a minor smoke poisoning, police announced. When the fire broke out on Friday evening there were 18 people in the building. Many of the occupants were only dressed lightly and were provided blankets by the rescuers.

The accommodation will not be inhabitable in the near future, it was announced. It was still unclear how the fire broke out.

Düsseldorf, June 7, 2016: The Refugee accommodation ‘Messehallen’ burns to the ground. A Moroccan started the fire, because he was dissatisfied with the Ramadan dinner.

 

Berlin Police Leadership: Pushing Diversity, Neglecting Ordinary Officers

The stream of allegations is not ending. It appears as if, while Diversity was pushed onto the Berlin Police (see also this interview with the Deputy Police Chief here), the issues of the ordinary officers, policemen and firemen alike, were not so high on the list of priorities.

Grievances in Berlin Police Academy
The Long List of Allegations Against the Deputy Chief of the Berlin Police
By Joseph Hausner
November 03, 2017

The Deputy Police President of Berlin, Margarete Koppers, has come under fire. An instructor lamented in a voice recording what allegedly are fatal circumstances at the capital’s police academy, and spoke of hatred, refusal to learn, and violence, in a class with many police students with migration background.
Shortly thereafter, Focus released excerpts from an anonymous letter of a Land Office Of Criminal Investigations Detective to the police president of Berlin, in which he accuses Koppers of being too close to criminal arab clans. „She is legally represented by a lawyer who also represents an Arab clan“, the letter said, among others.
The experienced detective from Berlin warns of a subversion of the Berlin police by the clans. „Applicants of these clans are accepted at the police – even when they have a criminal record. Allegedly, findings about this are withheld by this very same Deputy President (and future Attorney General).“

Police President Klaus Kandt denies such allegations, speaks of „unfounded, defamatory, possibly even indictable remarks“ against him and Koppers. But the current reports are not the only cases for which the Deputy Police President has come under critics.

1. Gun Range Affair: Dead and sick police officers, because Koppers did not act?
As the ventilation did not work in many gun ranges, it appears that Berlin’s police officers were exposed to poisonous gunpowder fumes and minerals for years. Koppers allegedly learnt already in late 2011 when she was the provisional police president that a report warned of acute health risks from contaminated breathing air, and recommended closing the gun ranges. But for the longest time, nothing happened.
In the meantime, many shooting instructors and police officers have become ill, suffer breathing and lung conditions. Some of them have developed cancer. Five have died, Radio Berlin Brandenburg reported in March. First charges are laid, some doctors see a connection. Some of the victims blame Koppers personally. The police took up investigations against unknown, for suspect of inflicting bodily harm by professional negligence.

2. Manipulated credentials
„Tagesspiegel“ reports a case from 2012 and 2013, when Koppers already was provisional respectively Deputy Police President. A high-ranking position in the Land Office of Criminal Investigation was to be staffed. According to the report, Koppers changed the credentials of a head of division in hindsight, even though it already constituted a legally binding document at that point – to the negative. She downgraded several of his grades. At the same time, the grades of a different candidate, whom Koppers possibly preferred, were upgraded. The Federal Administrative court ruled that this was an unlawful manipulation of a proceeding for a high-ranking position. It were „not perceptible that Deputy President Koppers had sufficient knowledge“ about „the accomplishments“ of the officer, it said. The officer won a temporary ordinance against the staffing of the position. The court did not answer the question whether Koppers might have committed forging of documents.

3. Firemen duped of their afterhours?
End of July, Focus reported that Koppers’ authority might have duped the firemen of Berlin, for whom she is responsible, of paying their afterhours. They had been working up to 55 hours a week for years, even though only 48 hours were permissible. Koppers’ authority said in different procedures that the claims were partially lapsed, and that the firemen had been informed that the authority would assert lapse of time. This led to the demands of the firemen for 2001 until 2004 being rejected. But an employee information from 2008 shows that the firemen were promised exactly the opposite: „The authority will not assert lapse of time of claims“, it says.
The opposition in Berlin sees an initial suspicion of collusion in this contradiction. The interior administration did not want to comment on the allegations back then. In a statement it only said, one „stood with the fire brigade of Berlin unrestrictedly“.

4. Koppers is getting a new top position – but there are inconsistencies in the selection procedure
In November 2015, the position of Attorney General for Berlin was advertised. Koppers, who allegedly is close to the Greens, applied for the position. In the end, she was head to head with the jurist Susanne Hoffmann, who is close to the CDU. So the Justice Senator at the time, Thomas Heilmann of the CDU, convened a selection panel, staffed with, among others, conservative federal judges. Koppers remained absent from each single one of the selection interviews, took a sick leave.
Then in December 2016, after the elections for the house of representatives Berlin, the Green politician Dirk Behrendt replaced the former CDU Senator of Justice Heilmann. Behrendt decided to fully replace the selection panel. As soon as the new panel was appointed, Police President Koppers, who had been on a constant sick leave before, showed up to the interview for the first time. Just a few days later it was decided that Koppers will be the new General Attorney.

There was outrage in parts of the capital. The opposition of CDU and FDP railed at “Green Sleaze”. The defeated competitor – in contrast to Koppers an experienced prosecutor, even Deputy Chief Investigator in Brandenburg – pressed charges. But the District Court rejected the lawsuit at the first court. Now, Hoffmann wants to take the lawsuit to the Higher Administrative Court.

Gun Range Affair: as the General Attorney, Koppers would be chief of the investigations
The Green senator Behrendt is happy about the decision at the first court: „Berlin will get an intrepid and energetic General Attorney. She has already proven this in several positions“, he said.
The opposition views it differently. „Koppers is responsible for the desolate situation at the police“, says Marcel Luthe of the FDP Berliner to FOCUS Online. „And now she will move on, to damage the Prosecution next?“

The investigation against unknown for causing bodily harm by professional neglect, in the gun range affair, are ongoing. If Koppers indeed becomes General Attorney, she will soon be the boss of the investigations.

Berlin’s Future Cops: Burglars, and “Insolent as Sh*t” at times

Berlin – Finally, there is reassurance in the Berlin Police Academy scandal, where a leaked voice message lamenting intolerable conditions due to a migrant student rate of 36% surfaced:

Excerpt from Bild Zeitung.

All of the allegations were unfounded, Detective Chief Superintendent Thomas Neuendorf points out (…) “Just because a police trainee is from a city-wide notorious clan doesn’t mean we will discriminate against him. We evaluate the individual case.” Small criminal offenses in the past, like theft or damage of property, were no reason not to be accepted. According to Academy Chief Jochen Sindberg, we shouldn’t forget that these are young people. “It is all too normal that some pupils will be insolent as sh** at times”

Now that is reassuring!

Germany: Communist Kurds Clash With Police

Düsseldorf – a Kurdish November 4 protest with some 20,000 participants is turning into major clashes with police, as participants insist on displaying flags of the banned organization PKK (Kurdish Workers’ Party), violating German law. Apparently, the police have now had to bring in anti-riot water cannon vehicles.

An original translation from Die Welt:
Kurdish Demonstration Escalates
Police Use Pepper Spray
November 4, 2017, 2:19 PM CET

Several thousand Kurds congregated in Düsseldorf at a demonstration for releasing the captive PKK chief Abdullah Öcalan. They displayed his portraits, which is illegal. Clashes ensued.

The Kurdish demonstration in Düsseldorf on Saturday saw clashes with the police, after numerous participants displayed illegal flags with the portrait of the PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan. The officers were attacked with flagpoles, and upon that had to use pepper spray, said a police spokesman. The police had stopped the two protest marches, as they were displaying the illegal flags.

A photo reporter confirms that the officers repeatedly asked over loudspeakers to roll up the illegal flags, to no avail. Several protesters were taken into initial custody.

The protest was organized by an alliance of several groups, including organizations like NAV-DEM (Kurdisches Democratic Society Centre), who are close to the banned Turkish Workers’ Party PKK.

The participants came with busses from all across Europe, a speaker of the event said. They were expecting 25,000 participants.

Friday evening, the Superior District Court North Rhine Westphalia had, in an express hearing, explicitly confirmed the established jurisdiction that demonstrations may not display flags and banners with portraits of Öcalan (File.: 15 B 1371/17). The PKK is classified a terrorist organization in Germany, the European Union, and Turkey..

In mid September, a Kurdish festival organized by NAV-DEM caused dismay in Cologne. The German embassador in Ankara was summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry.

The organizers of the demonstration in Düsseldorf demand the release of the PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, who serves a life sentence in Turkey. The PKK is classified a terrorist organization in Germany, the European Union, and Turkey. As they are close to the PKK, the NAV-DEM is on the watch list of the Office For The Protection Of The Constitution in Germany.

Germany: Police Officer bitten into hospital

An original translation of a police press release.

BPOL NRW: Federal Police officer bitten into hospital – Tooth fragment removed from wound
01.11.2017 – 16:42

The bite wound. Photo: Bundespolizei

Essen – Bochum (ots) – This morning (01. November), an officer of the Federal Police was bitten so severely in the hand by a 43-year-old man that he had to discontinue duty and undergo hospital treatment.

Around 00:30 CET, forces of the Federal Police were called to the RE 1 train (Düsseldorf-Essen) in the main train station Essen. There was a fight in the train. A 43-year-old man from Bochum allegedly attacked several passengers.

The officers recorded the issue and took the Bochumer to the police station for a breath test. There it turned out later that the Ghanaian citizen was inebriated with 1.4 per mille. Later, when he was allowed to leave the police station, he refused, and demanded that the Federal Police officers drive him home.

Thereupon, he was assisted in leaving the police office. It appears that the man used this as an opportunity to attack a 49-year old Federal Police officer with his fists. As he was overpowered, the man bit a Federal Police officer in the hand so severely that he suffered a bleeding wound.

At the subsequent treatment in hospital, during the cleaning of the wound, a piece of tooth was removed from it. The officer will presumably be off duty for a few days.

An investigation for dangerous battery, insult, and resisting is filed against the 49-year-old, who is already notorious with the police for grievous battery.

Berlin: Police Leadership Knew of Conditions at Academy

Berlin – another police officer has, anonymously, come forward, and confirmed an instructor’s allegations of intolerable conditions at the police academy Berlin Spandau, due to the high number of migrant students (see our original report from yesterday here).
Also, a newspaper has obtained an internal document from a Berlin police leadership meeting, which shows that the leadership long knew of the problems.

New urgent reminder after instructor’s complaint:

State Office of Criminal Investigations Officer: „Just a matter of time when first shot will be fired“

November 2., 2017
By Axel Lier

What police Berlin will have to expect as new colleagues in the future “pushes the imagination to the limit!” An officer of the State Office of Criminal investigations (Landeskriminalamt, LKA) has spoken out anonymously in the discussion about intolerable conditions at the Berlin police academy.

After the serious accusations against police students with migration background who are in training in Berlin-Spandau, now an, in his words, “concerned police officer of the state of Berlin” comes forward in an open letter to police president Klaus Kandt (B.Z. have obtained the document). Earlier, an instructor had lamented intolerable conditions at the police academy Spandau – here is the full text.

The LKA-officer now comes to the instructor’s defense – and raises serious allegations against the police leadership! They were downplaying grievances, as for example at the academy in Spandau. The officer detects infiltration of police and justice by Arab clans, and, in his open letter, describes problems with police students with migration background.

„Pushes The Imagination To The Limit!“

He were police officer since 1986 and had seen his fair share of things. He writes: „In my whole professional career, I only feared police officers twice. The first time was at an assignment ‚Ongling burglary suspected, perpetrator probably armed with gun‘. When we entered the house, a colleague behind me loaded his gun, but the familiar ‘ka-klick’ of the decocker was missing. He only decocked the gun, after I had drawn his attention to it. Now, I am worried again, but more than about hat colleague who might have shot me in the back in the chaos. Because that, what we have to expect as new colleagues in the future, pushes the imagination to the limit!”

Treating Female Officers Like Cleaning Women
Die Welt reports that the police leadership was aware of the allegations for quite some time. The newspaper cites an internal document from a leadership meeting which they obtained. The percentage of migrants at the academy were currently 30%. Part of the candidates for police service can’t swim, even though this were mandatory for recruitment. They were treating female officers like cleaning women, it says.

But the police leadership were denying any dialogue and downplaying the grievances, says the officer in his open letter: “If an instructor goes public anonymously, then only, because the dialogue with the leadership that they were asking for is non-existent!” The leadership were “watering down, downplaying, and talking down incidents” and were “shrouded in silence”.

„Police bends even antisocials into shape!“
The officer quotes the internal intranet of the police in his letter: “Without anticipating the results, he (Mister Kandt) is of the firm conviction that it is the job of the police academy to socialize the students in such a way that they will show discipline, politeness and respect in their interactions with each other, as well as with their superiors, and the people of the city.“

But, so the officer, the academy cannot socialize the students:

„Socialisation – this is what I was taught at exactly this faculty – of a human being takes place at two places: in his parents’ home – this should be the norm – or in a correctional facility. The faculty is dependant on people who are already versed in the rules of social interaction, as well as in the official language German, as it is required by legislation.“

The officer continues in drastic words: „This is how I translate your statement: ‚The police will bend into shape even antisocials!‘ No, it won’t. If this were the case, then there would be no need for the police!“

The LKA officer in his letter also admonishes the subversion of public service and justice: “Without doubt we can state that the subversion by Arab clans has already begun“.

He had doubts “that this still was the same police where I started more than 30 years ago.“

Besides, the anonymous officer criticizes that the police vice president Margarete Koppers were allegedly treating applicants from Arab clans notorious to the police too liberal, and that notorious lawyers of the milieu represent her .

„Tolerance comes to an end when female superiors aren’t respected anymore“
The officer condemns further grievances in the academy:

„When female superiors aren’t respected anymore, because they are women, when the students refuse swimming training, because ‘someone unclean’ might have been swimming in the pool, then tolerance and welcome culture and ‚Multikulti‘ come to an end!“

Such people should „be shown the door, because they haven’ grasped the basic rules of our democracy, they aren’t socialized in the spirit of our laws, and the citizen out there can’t expect any help from people like these.“

„Just a matter of time when first shots will be fired“
It were „just a matter of time when between two colleagues of rivalling ethnicities at the police first shots will be fired“, the police officer worries.

He did not want to give his name, because „I trust the police leadership less than the colleague with the not decocked gun in my back.“

He closes his letter „with collegial greetings“ as a „concerned police officer of the state of Berlin“.

Police Leadership Knew of the Problems At Police Academy

By Michael Behrend
It appears that the leadership of the Berlin police knew of the problems with police students with migration background.
This is what an internal paper suggests. It talks about „condescending treatment“ of women, and deficits in the professional ethos.
According to information that Die Welt have obtained, there is a climate of fear at the academy.
Why this is relevant:
The debate about grievances at the academy was started by an audio recording in which the complaints of instructor about Turkish and Arab police students can be heard.

It appears that the leadership of the police Berlin had been aware for quite some time of the escalating grievances at the academy. Die Welt have obtained an internal paper of a leadership discussion from August this year.

Accordingly, the police academy laments problems, „that developed due to the recruitment of officers with migration background (currently 30%)“. For example, part of the candidates can’t swim, even though this is mandatory for recruitment. Besides, a „condescending treatment of female officers, as if they were cleaning women“, is Additionally, candidates lacked professional ethos.

According to Welt information, there is a climate of fear at the academy. “There were teachers who wanted to meet representatives of the parties to talk about the grievances. But pressure was exerted on them”, a leading police officer of Berlin says.

The spokesman for inner politics of the FDP in Berlin, Marcel Luthe, says: „The police union organized a meeting with us and teachers. It was cancelled.“ The debate about grievances at the academy was started by an audio recording in which the complaints of instructor about Turkish and Arab police students can be heard.

Die Welt were first to report on this. Police president Klaus Kandt announced that he received the audio file last Friday. The sender of the file was identified, and there was a talk with him. He was criticized for not having turned to his employer.

Luthe said: „I do not now a single case that had a different outcome than denying the problem. The police academy is directly subject to the police president, the dramatic problems that repeatedly occur are his direct responsibility. The academy needs a police leader with experience in duty and in teaching at its top.“

Luthe demanded that the interior senate take action. „No matter which stone you turn around, terrorism, a 15 percent increase in crime since 2011, the lowest clearance rate, areas where there is open drug dealing, and now the police academy – the leadership of the police Berlin is a total failure. How much longer will the Interior Senator ask the Berliners to put up with this?“
