Nazi symbols and child pornography found in German police chats
Another group within Germany's security structures has been found to be inclined toward Nazi imagery. Recklinghausen officials are concerned by this incident, the second in recent months.
Cops are cops, it seems.
Weirdly enough, the police is well educated over here. So they can't even claim ignorance.
The police officers committed these acts while they were still in training as part of their dual bachelor's degree.
Yet this is better than the alternative, it's easier to get rid of them at the earlier stage.
Doesn't change the type of people that seek power over others.
Claim ignorance? How? "I didn't learn in school that neo-nazism and abusing children is frowned upon in society" ?
Ok, you know different cops "over here". In Hannover they're mostly on the simple side, more spoons in the knife drawer, candles in a lamp shop. No boookz, more harassing homeless folks or kicking teenagers. Educa-what? All in all - despicable group of people. That's not an opinion, that's an observation over decades btw. So - it fits and doesn't surprise at all.
Not these anymore they aren't.
what the fuck
Sadly, this is the rule and not the exception. We have a massive problem with racism and right ideology in our police. Power corrupts.
Eh, I don't think "power corrupts" applies mostly in these situations. That would imply these cops weren't racists or pedos until they joined the force and got that power.
In these cases I think it's more that these bad people, racists and pedos, seek out the positions of power that are available to them - law enforcement positions.
But yeah I totally agree law enforcement has a problem of being extremely far right. If it is, which it is known, then people with similar ideologies will flock to those positions even more.
I have to say: it's true despite the fact that many police men are people with migration background.
That doesn't stop them from being racist and right-winged though.
Which is really confusing to me.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prosecutors in Germany have uncovered illegal content including Nazi symbols in chat messages involving five officers from three different police districts.
The five men, aged 22 and 25, are suspected to have exchanged Nazi symbols in chats and possessed child pornography during their training, according to Annette Milk, the chief public prosecutor investigating the case.
Nevertheless, the allegations are so serious that after examining each individual case, I immediately banned the three officers from conducting official business," Friederike Zurhausen, the police chief of Recklinghausen, said in a statement.
“Young civil servants, like older ones, must stand up for justice, law and the values of our constitution without a shadow of a doubt,” he continued.
Several far-right terror attacks in 2019 and early 2020 prompted German authorities to warn of escalating extremism, which led to these hate-speech laws being tightened last year.
According to the latest ministry information from the end of July, the North Rhine-Westphalian police have suspended or penalised 105 incidents of right-wing extremist behavior over the past six years.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
good bot.
To the surprise of no one.
I mean I'm surprised by the child porn part
why? People in position of power such as clergy, teachers, politicians, celebrities and wealthy in general are always the ones getting caught... after decades of abuse many times.
Until we admit who are the key groups doing the abuse, nothing will change. If we can't put clergy in prison for it, our society has not dealt with any of these issues imho. When you have clergy across countries doing it, it sound like a criminal organization.
Cops any many countries are also notorious for sexual assaults, which are heavily under reported.
I'm not.
How?
"The allegations shocked me. In criminal law, the presumption of innocence also applies here. Nevertheless, the allegations are so serious that after examining each individual case, I immediately banned the three officers from conducting official business," Friederike Zurhausen, the police chief of Recklinghausen, said in a statement.
This police chief did more than most do.
I have to wonder if things like child porn among law enforcement is a sort of test to see if the others are as committed to disregarding the law. If you say nothing, you have viewed and are currently in possession of child pornography in your chats, which becomes leverage. If you report it, you are outed as a nark and will become a target.
Alles nur Einzelfälle...
No one is surprised. People don't join the police to serve the people, they join it to bully them. We all know the gems attracted to positions like that.
That's not true, plenty of people join to help.
They get bullied out by all the bullies, or become one of them.
All these Cats Are Beautiful too?
It never surprises me when nazis and cp are used in the same sentence. If this was us conservative and republicans would be part of that sentence too.
Just another Tuesday for German cops.
I am jack's complete lack of surprise
Who should we trust if not in those who have sworn to protect us and the law?
Communities defend communities.
Swearing to protect is vapid symbolism that anyone can feign with ease, and the laws are rarely decided by the people subject to them. The fact that so many people trust state police is amazing once we take a step back and analyse it.
Interesting case studies include real places that evicted police and politicians.

Those swearing they will protect the law (or any thing else) are usually not the ones actually doing it
You didn't even have to say German
Are they teaching the British Met, or are the Met teaching them?
Those two things do go hand-in-hand a lot.
Typical Monday...
And this is why you don't allow societies to have police
Einige derjenigen, die Arbeitskräfte einsetzen, sind dieselben, die Kreuze verbrennen
Arbeitskräfte einsetzen?
Apparently the automatic translation tool they used interpreted "(those that) work forces" as "(those) workforces"
And you know the rest of pics were about scat. Germans love to eat poop and drink urine
