Ellwangen, Germany: Deportation Fails, Refugees Issue Ultimatum, Police Witthdraw
2018-05-02
Article is in German. Here's a short summary:
In the night from 04/29 to 04/30 three police patrol cars came to the Ellwangen refugee reception center (former Bundeswehr barracks) to pick up a 23 y/o Togolese who was to be deported.

200 Africans surrounded the police, freed the Togolese (with handcuffs still on) and forced the police to withdraw to the center's guard area.

The refugees hit and damaged the patrol cars.

Later a security guard who was acting as a middleman at the behest of the refugees issued an ultimatum to the police.

If the police didn't remove the Togolese' handcuffs the refugees would storm the gate. (It is unclear whether they threatened to storm the center's outer gate and attack the town or the gate of the guard area and attack the police.)

The police surrendered the key to the handcuffs to the middleman. The Togolese has apparently vanished.

The police were commended by their superiors for staying calm. Reinforcements would have taken hours to arrive. The rioters will be criminally investigated.

#9  With just a little coordination interested parties could inflict great harm on Germany or Europe.

Without any coordination they are inflecting plenty of harm, most of which is unacknowledged by the authorities.

#4  Guess the Germans are born eunuchs these days.

This was a standoff between six policemen and 200 refugees. The police expected deference, it wasn't equipped or prepared to impose German law on a large group of people using armed force.

#3  The police in a Western democracy at peace isn't supposed to be an internal occupation force.

The vast majority of inhabitants obeys the laws by consensus i.e there's a consent of the governed.

Merkel let in over a million of men of military age who share a cultural and legal consensus that is quite different and incompatible.

The consequences of this act are just staring to manifest themselves.

So far these incidents were always the result of a spontaneous escalation.

With just a little coordination interested parties could inflict great harm on Germany or Europe.
Think synchronized riots and looting at a multiple places that simply overwhelm the police's resources.

#2  What the hell happened to the Germans? I remember in the 80's there was an anti-US/Nato/Nuclear protest and the police smashed it. Then there was an anti-police brutality protest and the reporter actually said, "So the West German police went out to break some heads." And they smashed that one.

Guess the Germans are born eunuchs these days.

#1  It's always so nice to see a community come together to unite against outsider threats like this.
