So, guys. News from Germany.
On the 12th of February, two men somewhere in Hamburg where driving around, when they were assaulted by armed men wearing balaclavas. One of the men was shot in the face, lost his eyesight and can only eat through a straw now. The other was kicked in the back, and subsequently lost feeling in his legs for several days, as he had a hernia just a few days prior.
Now, take a guess what the police had been doing while this was happening. The thugs with the balaclavas? Those were the cops. A Mobiles Einsatzkommando, to be exact, something like SWAT. They apparently tried to detain a criminal but then accidentally innocent citizens. Oops.
I heard about this incident today. It still hasn't been resolved yet. The victims are still waiting for their compensation, the prosecutors still haven't done shit, but at least this dangerous criminal the police were searching for was taken in. Hooray!
I called the police department in charge of the MEK, because I feel pretty damn entitled to an explanation from them. The charming ladies I was connected with ended the conversation quickly, because apparently, I was impolite. Think about this: Two men have been crippled. One of them permanently. The policemen haven't even been wearing their badges, according to witnesses. This entire thing smells "death squad" to me. Yet the people working for the department in charge of said squad, they demand YOU act respectfully.
Tomorrow, I'll call them up again, ask to be connected to someone who's literate or something. Today was sunday, so of course the people in charge of taking in requests not to get murdered weren't at home. Personally, I believe that if you fuck up as badly as the police department did, you don't get to complain about people not respecting your work hours, but that's just me.
TL;DR fuck the cops. No, seriously; fuck them.
