To Rübsamen also guest: Virologist Helga Schaeff, ARD stock market expert Anja Kohl, Moderator Dirk Steffens and columnist Jan Fleischhauer -. A show about police violence and racism , which is only filled with White? The made on Twitter for outrage.

Layne was, fortunately, not too much of the little inspiring questions of the presenter irritated and gave an insight into day-to-day police violence compared to Black.
