Police operation escalated: man with a taser - officer injured!

Märkisch-Oderland, Deutschland - In Cologne there was an intensive police operation today, in which a 24-year-old man was found and arrested. The officials of the Märkisch-Oderland police inspection had previously been alerted, after the man had been approached to the emergency services in a state of emotion, with the intention of attacking them. In a moment of the highest tension, the police were forced to threaten the use of a taser and finally use it to control the situation. Compared to Cityreport.pnr24-online.de, the police confirmed that the man could be fixed on the ground.

Unfortunately, a police officer injured his hand. The 24-year-old was then taken to a nearby hospital by rescue workers, where he was to be looked after further. Later he will have the opportunity to comment on the allegations of resistance to enforcement officers at the criminal police.

Taser in the focus of the discussion

The use of Tasern in the police is currently being discussed intensively, especially after an incident in Munich, in which it had fatal consequences for a woman. According to [Br.de] (https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/polizei-Detail-mit-taser-was-dafuer- und-dagegen-speecht ,um0nMD5) Many demand that the police need a suitable means between pepper spray and firearm. Thorsten Grimm from the German Police Union Bavaria suggests that every patrol car should be equipped with a distance electro pulse device. In countries like Rhineland-Palatinate, Teasers are already in use, while Bavaria's Ministry of the Interior is looking for other ways to ensure the security of the officials.

While the DPolG argues that the taser can help in critical situations, there are also concerns about health risks. It is known that Tasern cannot function as desired under certain conditions - especially if those affected are under drugs or have health health problems. Statistics show that Tasern in Bavaria in 2023 were used in around 100 missions without causing death or lasting damage.

health risks and controversy

Especially in recent years, reports about the use of Tasern. According to a report by amnesty-polizei.de, Tasern were often used against unarmed people. In some cases, it even happened that teased civil servants are already tied up with tied people with electricity bumps. Inadequate training and the frequent submission of current bumps were classified as health risks that also aim at mentally ill people.

Amnesty International has shown this problem by reporting that in some cases up to seven punches of electricity were given in quick sequence. In the past, this has also led to violation of human rights, which repeatedly rekindled the discussion about the general introduction of Tasern in the police.

The persistent debate about the sensible and safe use of Tasern is only even more urgent due to the incidents in Cologne. While the police are trying to create a safe working environment for their civil servants, the question of how we can deal responsibly with such technologies and at the same time protect human rights.
