The police officer in Mannheim who was stabbed in the neck by a mujahid last Friday has died of his wounds. He had been placed in an artificial coma, reportedly to preserve his organs for harvesting, since he was an organ donor.

Below are two articles about the officer. The first was published before his death was announced.

Mannheim attack: Hope for wounded police officer fades

According to a media report, there is little hope for the police officer who was critically wounded in Mannheim. He is only being kept alive by a heart-lung machine. What does the State Criminal Police Office say?

Mannheim

According to a media report, the police officer who was critically wounded in the Mannheim attack is only being kept alive artificially. “It was clear early on that he would not survive this attack. But Rouven is an organ donor. [I hope for the sake of those who will receive those organs that he wasn’t jabbed with the Mengele-juice. And if so, will that poor victim be an Islamic terror-victim or Big Pharma’s in that case?] He is being kept alive on a heart-lung machine,” a close friend of the family told the Bild newspaper. It was already announced yesterday that the police officer had been put into an artificial coma.

Last Friday, an Afghan repeatedly stabbed the officer in the neck and head with a combat knife about 30cm long. He lost a lot of blood at the scene. A video shows him collapsing afterwards. The first ambulances arrived around eight minutes after the attack, which was apparently aimed at the Islam-critic Michael Stürzenberger.

A total of six wounded by immigrant Afghan

“He risked his life for our safety and wants to give other people a new life as an organ donor. He still has so much to do himself and is a great person. We are all devastated,” said the friend of the victim’s family. The Baden-Württemberg State Office of Criminal Investigation described the police officer’s condition to Junge Freiheit on Sunday afternoon as still life-threatening.

A total of six people were wounded in the suspected Islamist-motivated massacre, including Stürzenberger. The Afghan, who entered Germany in 2014, was shot in the stomach, but his life is not in danger. An arrest warrant has already been issued against him for attempted murder. He was not previously known to the security authorities. [That shows you how much they know of Islam — diddly-squat.]

Afterword from the translator:

Earlier I watched the interview with Stürzi in hospital and I have to say that somehow their outlook towards Islam is quite “childishly naïve”. From what I’ve seen, what we’re all have seen over the last 1400+ years, there is no distinction between the so-called political Islam and Islam. By some individuals maybe, just like in Christianity, Buddhism and all the others where it is more or less just lip-service, but when the clarion call sounds, Muslims will fall into line when it goes against the Kuffar.

And then, who will finally be held accountable? Those who have invited or smuggled these people into Germany in large numbers since 2015 as federal and state governments, and who now stand by and do nothing as interior ministers — mostly CDU? I seriously doubt it, since those in power never punish themselves for their failures or those that came before them. They do not want to set a precedent.

What I do not understand is why police officers are actually protecting people like Faeser, Haldenwang, Söder, Strobl etc. WHY?! They should demonstratively call in sick. And those who have seen the interview with Stürzi will have noticed that the Mannheim market square is peppered with election posters from the old parties, but not with German names and faces, but with Arabic names and faces. Where is the outcry? One owes NOTHING to those who prove unworthy of one’s trust.

The second article reports on the officer’s death, and the reactions of public officials.

Knife attack in Mannheim

“It angers me what is happening in our country”

A police officer died because he tried to save a man’s life. The collected reactions to the knife attack in Mannheim

The death of a police officer after the knife attack in Mannheim is causing sadness and consternation in the political world. The 29-year-old officer was attacked Friday in Mannheim Market Square. He succumbed to his injuries on Sunday afternoon.

A moving scene played out Sunday afternoon on the Market Square. Just minutes after the death of the young man was made known, police gathered to memorialize their colleague.

Politicians were also in dismay. We have gathered the reactions.

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz: “It deeply dismays me that the brave police officer has succumbed to his injuries after the terrible attack in Mannheim. His action for the safety of all of us merits the highest recognition. In this bitter hour, my thoughts are with his family and with all those who mourn him.”

Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser declared that the death of the police officer made her “infinitely sad” “He took courageous steps to save lives. He died in service for our security.” She paid tribute to all police officers who daily care for people’s safety. “This act shows in a terrible way how dangerous this service for our country can be.”

Lindner on the Mannheim knife attack

FDP head Christian Lindner wrote on X that the death of the young policeman touched him greatly. “And it angers me what is happening in our country. We have to defend ourselves against Islamist terrorism. We will strengthen the security authorities financially. No more false tolerance,” said Lindner. State Security has taken over the investigation of the attack.

Green Party chief Omid Nouripour spoke of the “awful news” of the death of the police officer. “He carried out his duties and tried to save lives. The injured officer in Mannheim himself did not survive.”

Knife attack in Mannheim: Politicians in Baden-Wuertemberg shaken

Baden-Wuerttemberg’s Minister President, Winfried Kretschmann, was dismayed in the evening: “The news shakes me to the core.” The Green (party) politician said his thoughts were with the family, the dependants, and the colleagues. “This terrible act painfully shows us all the often incalculable risks police officers are exposed to every day. The service of policemen and women for the State, the community, and the free democratic basic order cannot be valued highly enough. As a society, we are obliged to show the highest respect and appreciation,” Kretschmann further stated.

“These are moments when the world seems to be standing still,” said Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU). “All of the police in Baden-Wuerttemberg will always and forever honor his memory. The police officer was the victim of a brutal, bestial attack. He laid down his life because he took a stand to protect other people.”

Police union reacts angrily

“This young police officer had his entire life in front of him,” said CDU-State President Manual Hagel. “Nothing can heal this painful loss. The entire nation is deeply indebted to the heroic courage of the young officer.”

The German Police Union reacted with concern, but also anger.

“The violence that we encounter daily is ruthless, inhumane, and often deadly,” said State President Ralf Kusterer. “The campaigns against hate and incitement often do not begin to address the problems that policemen and women have to face daily. Discussions about democracy and freedom of expression don’t reach perpetrators incapable of guilt, nor religious fanatics whose worldview seems completely foreign and absurd to us.”
