Even before the “pandemic”, German police had become noticeably more physically aggressive in their treatment of ordinary citizens. But after Corona was unleashed, police officers took the opportunity to handle people even more roughly if they were identified as posing a threat to public health.
The following article reports on a mentally ill man who died after his encounter with police in Mannheim. Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Tag24:
Officer Hits Him in the Head, Man Dies: Police Scientist Stunned
According to police scientist Thomas Feltes, the way the police dealt with a mentally ill man who died last week after a police check in Mannheim was disproportionate.
It was clear to the officials that the 47-year-old was mentally ill. “That makes the case so unbelievable for me,” he told the Stuttgarter Zeitung and the Stuttgarter Nachrichten.
“In such cases, the police officer should know that the person reacts differently to certain police measures than other people.” According to his estimates, in three out of four cases in which a person dies after a police measure, the person concerned is mentally ill.
On the one hand, police officers usually do not know how to deal with such people. On the other hand, it is often difficult for them to recognize a mental illness. The man died after police checked and overpowered him.
A doctor from the Central Institute for Mental Health had previously informed the police that a patient might need help. Videos circulating online show a police officer beating a prone man’s head. The authenticity of the film sequences has been checked. Punches in the face are permissible for a person who is standing, Feltes said. But here a person was lying on the ground. The incident caused widespread criticism of the actions of the police.
Afterword from the translator:
The fear of a dying dictatorship can be seen in the police violence.
After the many actions I’ve seen AGAINST the citizens at demos, trust is completely gone for me. Sure, there are those who aren’t like that, but that doesn’t change the fact of how they have treated the citizens in our countries over the last two years. Whether it was the old man whom they tore off his bike — from behind — just because he was openly carrying the Basic Law with him, or the attack on the young pregnant woman, or the old lady who got trampled by mounted police — the list is almost endless, and then it will only be the tiniest tip of the iceberg! I could throw up and cry at the same time every time I see the system’s henchmen strutting around with the knowledge that their actions are backed up by the state and subsequently the judiciary. Did anyone vote for THIS?
But the main thing is to point the finger abroad and rail against “dictatorships” and how inhuman, repulsive, unacceptable this is…
Nazi filth. Treating their citizens like Muslim terrorists.
Nah, they don’t even treat their Muslim terrorists like that.
Police will follow anyone’s orders, no matter which side of the fence you are sitting on.
The truth is very simple.
There are four kind of people and those are the rules of the police for them:
1) Politicians and people with connections high up: Not to be touched. OK, sometimes the proles must be given the impression that those people are also punished, but that happens rarely, if ever.
2) Foreigners (MUSLIMS+Gypsies): a very, very light touch may be applied, but only to make the impressionn that the police hunts them.
In reality: dont touch them, as they are willing to kill (and some are cold blooded murderers), they have large families, do nothing and therefore know exactly where every cop / lawyer etclives, which school his/her children go.
3) Antifa: They are also willing to maim and kill. Dont touch them.
4) Normal citizens: If you are frustrated because you cannot touch any of the above, here you can take you baton and use it. They will only write complaints and we take the paper and burn it.
5) Nazis and everybody called a Nazi: Batons out and full force! Dont hesitate or are you a Nazi sympathizer?
For groups 4 and 5 dont care about the Declaration of Human Rights, as the judges now who pays them (the ministry of justice and they have the command right for all judges) and even if a judge dares to convict, nothing happens.
(Once Günther Beckstein, then minister of justice violated the Human Rights of right wing people and was convicted. But nothing else happend. Remember Nuremberg, where the human right violaters of the Nazis were hung?)
Well put.
Nuremberg is the reason why we are where we are today, it was nothing but victors retribution, the bloody Soviets killed hundreds of thousands after the war. Nothing was said about that. The Brits threw anyone it could under the bus to their benefit, the Poles and all of eastern Europe for that matter.
