****TRIGGER WARNING****
(Post addresses sexual, physical, psychological and racist police violence!)

REASON 1

KILLED BY A NAZI MOB IN FRONT OF THE POLICE
The first case to which we wish to draw attention concerns the young Angolan Amadeu Antonio. On the evening of 24
November 1990, the police learned that neo-Nazis had attacked the “Hüttengasthaus” restaurant. The police simply recommended to the owner of the restaurant to close the establishment.
The restaurant owner took the recommended decision and closed the establishment.
Amadeu Antonio and his companions
left the restaurant and headed in the same direction from which the armed group and incited neo-Nazi mob arrived. When
Amadeu Antonio and his companions found themselves in the street met with the Nazis, the crowd shouted “the Negros”. The scene was observed by three armed plainclothes officers who, out of fear, did not intervene. Amadeu Antonio and his companions were separated. His companion was able to run away, wounded, but ten neo-Nazis stayed on Amadeu. They beat and trampled him until he lost consciousness and his life was taken away.
The armed police force watched helplessly. They witnessed the scene, but could have intervened to save Amadeu Antonio’s life.

REASON 2

DRUNKEN POLICEMAN KILLS WOMAN
In January 2018, a Berlin police officer caused the death of a 21-year-old woman.
During the intervention, the man was drunk in his patrol car and had a blood alcohol level of 1.1 per thousand, according to hospital data. The police were unable to identify the perpetrator. Due to the widespread “esprit de corps” in the police, the investigators in place prevented further investigations that would have incriminated their colleague. Are police officers subject to other laws?

REASON 3

TWO POLICE OFFICERS CONVICTED OF SEXUAL ABUSE
In September 2019,
two police officers abused a woman after a check at her home.
In doing so, the officers knowingly used the woman’s position of duress. The officers checked the person and her
partner at the time. In order to clarify her identity, they went with her to the flat. The police officers put a lot of pressure on the person and left her with the idea that she should be taken into custody. To avoid the so-called incarceration, the person had to consent to the sexual act.
This is rape!

REASON 4

FATHER CONVICTED BY POLICE AND SHOT
A 31-year-old Egyptian woman was murdered on July 1, 2009 in the Dresden court by a fascist with a knife. The perpetrator, a 28-year-old man at the time,
German from Russia, had killed her for racist reasons. He showed hatred towards Muslims. He was not checked. Why was he not checked? The victim’s husband was injured while trying to help her.
He was identified by a police officer as the alleged perpetrator and was shot. He survived with serious injuries. Racial profiling!?

REASON 5

ANOTHER PERSON DIES IN POLICE CUSTODY
In the early hours of the first of November
Giorgos Zantiótis died after an extremely brutal intervention by the police. According to the police, they found a “very aggressive” man and his sister. In a video currently making the rounds, it can be seen how violent the police were with him, punching and kicking him. He was able to be “restrained” and taken into custody. There he suffered a circulatory collapse and all attempts at resuscitation by the emergency doctors called to the scene were in vain. In our view, there is clearly more blood in the hands of the police.
