Shock in Schwerin: police officer attacked at night and kicked out!

In a shocking escalation of violence on Saturday night in Schwerin, two police officers were attacked during a mission on Münzstrasse. At around 2 a.m., the officials, a 28-year-old police officer and a 27-year-old police officer, were called to a dispute between several people. When they arrived, they faced an angry group of 15 to 20 people. The incident ended with a brutal attack on the emergency services, which was grossly disproportionate to the original dispute, such as picture reported.

The 28-year-old police officer tried to bring one of the attackers to the ground when a second man put a kick against his head from behind. This led to the police officer lost consciousness for a short time. In the meantime, his colleague resisted the attacks and tried to protect her partner. Fortunately, she was not injured, but the situation continued to escalate, and two other officials, 25 and 31 years old, were added during the arrest of two 22-year-old suspicious injuries. The group around the attackers fled after the attack, which does not make the investigation easier.

Investigations run

The police have now initiated procedures for dangerous bodily harm, resistance to enforcement officers and assault. The current status of the two injured officials shows that both the 28-year-old police officer and the 27-year-old police officer are incapable of service. The background of the dispute and the identity of other possible participants are currently still unclear, as well as the reporting of [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommern/westmecklenburg/schwerin-28-jaehriger-polizist-bei-beitrauf-best-- illustrated.

The incident once again raises the question of the security of law enforcement officers. In Germany, the topic of police force has increasingly come into focus since the George Floyd case in the USA. A study by the Goethe University in Frankfurt, which was published in Deutschlandfunk, examines how often there is excessive use of violence by police officers. The study shows that young men in particular often become victims of such violence, while the officials themselves often suffer from stress and excessive demands.

a system in change

The conclusions of the study suggest that it is not just about individual incidents, but also a comprehensive problem within the police structures. These findings could also be important in Schwerin, where the officials were in a tense situation in which a lack of communication and inadequate operational planning may have contributed to escalations. Therefore, a reform of police training and training is considered necessary in order to avoid such incidents in the future.

Currently it remains to be seen how the situation for the injured police officers will develop and what consequences the incident could have for the security of the law enforcement officers in Schwerin
