Germany: Surge in Migrant Attacks on Police
"Migrants Have No Respect for Us"

Violent attacks against German police have reached epidemic proportions, and Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door migration policy is to blame, official statistics show.

The Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA) reported 36,755 attacks against German police in 2016 — or an average of 100 per day, a significant increase over previous years.

Violence — including verbal and physical assaults, and even murder — against police is rampant in all 16 of Germany's federal states.

Preliminary data, recently leaked to German public radio, indicate that in terms of violence against German law enforcement officers, 2017 will be a record-breaking year. In Berlin alone, attacks against police this year are up 70% in Görlitzer Park, 35% at the Warsaw Bridge and 15% at Kottbusser Tor, according to the Berliner Morgenpost.

In a bestselling book, German police officer Tania Kambouri blamed the deteriorating security situation on migrants who have no respect for law and order. In an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio, she said:

"For weeks, months and years I have noticed that Muslims, mostly young men, do not have even a minimum level of respect for the police. When we are out patrolling the streets, we are verbally abused by young Muslims. There is the body language, and insults like 'sh*t cop' when passing by. If we make a traffic stop, the aggression increases ever further, this is overwhelmingly the case with migrants.

"I wish these problems were recognized and clearly addressed. If necessary, laws need to be strengthened. It is also very important that the judiciary, that the judges issue effective rulings. It cannot be that offenders continue to fill the police files, hurt us physically, insult us, whatever, and there are no consequences. Many cases are closed or offenders are released on probation or whatever. Yes, what is happening in the courts today is a joke."

On the oft-heard claim about Australia being extraordinarily generous towards refugees:

How many do you think will return home now that it's safe to do so? ISIS is defeated, the Al Qaeda rebels are pushed back into enclaves and the country needs to rebuild.

That's where the help is now needed, rebuidling the infrastructure in Syria.

You'd hope that the oil rich countries in the area would put their hands in their (very large) purses and fork out some cash to rebuild and not rely on the west to do it all, but I won't hold my breath.

If the country can be stabilised, with functioning infrastructure and economy so there's actually something to go back to, I'd think a fair few would actually return

Sure - you should feel free to tell all the Italian, Greek, Croatian, Serbian, Spanish, Brazilian, French, Dutch, German etc etc people who live here that they’re being retrospectively denied citizenship, too. You should be OK letting the English stay, though - they officially lost all interest in soccer forever shortly after 6.30 am today, AEST.

[stui magpie]

They can all stay, just not play soccer.

Which shouldn't bother the English at as you say.

The first one, I think.

[stui magpie]

Can we deport Hal?

Do you mean you and me? Let me think. What's that got to do with PUSHaim of these 'burqa bans' ? ". "

I think “unplug” may be the word you’re looking for.

[Pies4shaw]

Does “unplug” mean the same thing as “melt down and remold into forks”?
