what happened in Stuttgart Can happen, even in Bavaria? In Munich or Rosenheim?

Peter Schall : Theoretically, Yes. It is always a question of the power relationship between the police and the rioters. In Stuttgart, it is escalated completely. In normal operation, such a situation for the police officers to cope with on-the-spot at all. Therefore, forces from all over the country were drawn together in order to bring back order in the city. Whether the trigger is actually the drug control was, the claims made by the offender as an excuse to lay waste to half the city, is for me irrelevant. This is a cheap excuse. But the pattern behind it makes me Worried.

What do you mean?

sound : in our police to-day life in Bavaria, there is increasingly the phenomenon that in certain situations, and suddenly bystanders to interfere, for they think that they would have to party against the police take. This may be the case, when a officer approached a car to write to the wrong parks – and all of a sudden the COP. But not from the Park, a sinner, but wild alien people who have nothing to do with the car.

Stuttgart: violence in Bavaria? Police trade unionists sees serious changes

What to experience Bavarian police just yet?

Peter Schall : In Bavaria we have always senseless destruction actions. In the case of parked cars in a row are assigned to the mirrors, road signs are vandalized or Graffiti-lubricated. Unfortunately, this is everyday life. It also happens time and again that colleagues, make personal checks, determine that an arrest warrant has been issued. So, you take the Person. But suddenly, standing in solidarity on the outside and try to get rid of the quotes around “poor victim”. Earlier, the citizens of went over and said: “nothing to do with me.” Or: “I’m glad the police is there.” Today, everything is different. Today you have to interfere in things that nothing to do with.

Stuttgart and the background: “The big kopferte saves 3,000 Euro – the young have to pay off the debt,”

police officers Are the new whipping of the Nation’s boys?

Peter Schall : It is a mixture of many things, when it comes to events such as in Stuttgart. There are more and more people left behind feel. The faith, stay on the track. And then there was also the Corona-measures*, many young men felt at home locked up. The policy decides at the same time billions of packages, and the young man has really nothing about it except that the bottle of beer is maybe three cents cheaper. So in their logic.

But who can today buy a car for 100,000 euros, so to speak, of the big kopferte, you will save 3000 Euro. The young must pay off at some point, the debt in billions of dollars. This is what is left hanging. And that is what makes some angry. To violent escalations, such as in Stuttgart.

Stuttgart: violent-excesses – “The police is representative of the state,”

Why choose these people to police as a hate object?

Peter Schall : The police is representative of the state. But in the case of the perpetrators is a lot of fun of course. Fun at the violence. There is a Video cut together by the Stuttgart colleagues have prepared. What you see there, leaves one speechless. You can hear laughter, if the slices miss the snow-covered and police cars are demolished. Rampage seems to be the latest Event.

you Fear that a hot summer is coming, the police?

Peter Schall : it depends on the next few weeks, whether it was in Stuttgart a single action, or whether it is a new phenomenon. Up to now, – toi, toi, toi – we don’t have in other cities for happiness. I hope it stays that way. Because forget what the rioters often, is that the taxpayer pays for everything. To destroyed police vehicles, but also loss of tax revenue because the companies make the destroyed discs in the case of the profit and loss account.

Stuttgart: support from Bavaria? Also the free state wants to “? determined arm”

How it continues now in Stuttgart

Peter Schall : The Stuttgart will hope in the next week to support the Federal police. Whether officials will be sent from Bavaria, remains to be seen, because you want to be prepared in the free state intended to monitor the so-called celebration of miles enhanced. Important will also be to identify as quickly as possible, what type of clientele in Stuttgart belongs to the perpetrators.

What we know so far?

Peter Schall : In the case of the 24 arrested, is it half-half in terms of nationality. 50 percent German, 50 percent other nationalities. Also on the video recordings I’ve seen, you hear many foreign voices. It was mainly young men who have cooled their Heels. It was vandalism, nothing other than bare.

There are Videos that show how a police officer fixed a rioters to the ground. Then a man from behind with full force, running on the colleague, and enters him. The police officer is God, was not hurt thanks to so hard, but because the worst could have happened. The Video has one of the rioters turned, probably in the hope that he gets in the social media as much as possible attention. The police uses it now, to find the perpetrators.
