Cops are cops, it seems.
Weirdly enough, the police is well educated over here. So they can’t even claim ignorance.
The difference to the US is that these 3 guys got found out, and will most likely go to jail.
True. But at least the Nazi leanings are depressingly common in the German police. And they do get away with a lot of if shit, even if it’s not anywhere near as bad as in the US.
The nazi party is illegal in Germany.
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” ?
Not these anymore they aren’t.
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.
Power corrupts people, even good ones. Especially people with traumas are draw to positions of power, to compansate for their lack of control in early life.
You see this everywhere, but some examples: Trump: abusive relationship with father Elon musk: Bullied and nearly punched to death in school
I’m not.
How?
Alles nur Einzelfälle…
Yet another another isolated incident?!
ALLES EINZELFÄLLE
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.
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.

Just another Tuesday for German cops.
So… how did they find this? No background information provided for this story. By the end of the article they no longer found it, it was an accusation?
I got that they were investigating another individual and seemed to happen upon it.
Another individual in the chat?
“Haha look at these funny nazi symbols and csam I found in evidence”
Are they teaching the British Met, or are the Met teaching them?
Typical Monday…
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”
You didn’t even have to say German
