DW: Cologne police chief sent into provisional retirement after NYE assaults
Cologne's head of police has been suspended after allegations he withheld information on the New Year's Eve sexual assaults. The state's interior minister said to expect more details from the investigation next week.
The city's police chief, Wolfgang Albers, was provisionally relieved of his duties, North Rhine Westphalia's Interior Minister Ralf Jäger told journalists in the state capital of Düsseldorf on Friday. "This step is important so that public trust and the Cologne police's ability to act can be restored," Jäger said, justifying his decision.
The interior minister said that he personally spoke to Albers and that the police chief showed "a great deal of understanding." The official decision came shortly after police were criticized for their inability to prevent around 1,000 men from robbing and sexually harassing women at Cologne's central station on December 31.
WNU Editor: I did not expect this story to become as big as it has become in Germany .... and in the rest of Europe. But the reason why it is a big story is simple ..... it happened. It is also extremely embarrassing to the Merkel government and to those who advocated this massive refugee influx, and what made it worst were their attempts to downplay it while even more victims were coming forward. And as much as the death of a young boy who drowned while his family were trying to flee to Greece captivated the world on the horrific plight of Syria's refugees last year, this incident is probably going to do the opposite.
Update: It is starting .... Migrant rape fears spread across Europe: Women told not to go out at night alone after assaults carried out in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland amid warnings gangs are co-ordinating attacks (Daily Mail).

ReplyDeleteIt is about the same as thee rape gangs.
Merkel thinks a fall guy is going to save her?
ReplyDeletePolice commissioners enforce public policy set by politicians.
They also give advice if the politicians are capable of something more than selective hearing.
Merkel should have worked enough years to retire. Does she want to leave office as a septagenerian?
Let's face it.... Merkle completely screwed up the migrant issue when Germany lambasted Hungary for their treatment of the refugees. The truth is Germany should have heeded Orban's plea to vet all the newcomers, especially the younger male population!! She arrogantly reprimanded her counterpart, became TIME's person of the year and she FAILED in protecting the German people. She should resign and publicly apologize to those who she so smugly dissed. Case closed!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how many refugies markle is hosting on her giant castle on the dark side of East Germany.
DeleteThis b******* that Markle is doing is not multiculturalism is much rather demographic suicidal she no need to resign she need to be prosecuted for treason.
Azinio is right .
ReplyDeleteThe police chief is the fall guy for following orders from above to protect the brain dead corrupt Merkle.. what a fucken mess .. call me raciest
There simply must be another secular government somewhere that needs overthrowing.
ReplyDeleteBaring that, send them to the Ukraine. Seems misogyny, un-employment, self righteousness and backwardness are all the rage there.
Anyway,
I'm sure there were some natives in the western hemisphere, Africa and elsewhere who said the Europeans should have been sent home.
No accounting for irony.
RRH,
ReplyDeleteI think you would have a hard time in many pubs across Europe if you opened you mouth.
Inconvenient truths about the assault, rapes, perpetrators are coming out. The fall guy, police chief, is just the 1st. That mayor is not going to get re-elected. They will vote her Multi-cult dumb azz out of office.
She looks like and is as retarded as Louis Lerner.
