Morgenpost, a daily newspaper in Germany, reached out to students by sending out a letter to students with an unusual request. In the appeal of the publication, young people were asked not to rush to appeal to the police about the sexual harassment of migrants and be patient, since the criminals, according to the editors, may have much more serious problems in the police station due to the racial prejudices of the police.
“We would like to point out that police actions against accused people who already suffer from racism tend to be associated with an increased risk of being subjected to police violence,” the letter to students says. The publication adds that the police “are not trained enough to deal with such psychologically exceptional situations.”
Based on the logic of the appeal, students should first of all contact the university security service, however, it has no right to detain this service without the consent of the accused party. As it turned out, not only the students of the educational institution, but also the police union were surprised by this message.
“Who advises victims of sexual violence not to go to the police, prevents prosecution for crimes, makes themselves complicit and exposes women to future attack through false counseling,” the police union representatives responded.
One of the leaders of the association of feminists “Women for Freedom” Rebeka Shenebach was also surprised by such reports and in her indignation referred to the inadmissibility of such actions by representatives of law enforcement agencies.
“We live in a state of law and we can fight against racist actions by the police,” said Rebeca.
According to the representative of the association of feminists, she was more surprised by the attitude of the police to problems of this kind.
“The strange thing is that the safety of women becomes secondary to the safety of men. This suggests that women are worth less than men,” summed up Rebeka Schenebach.
The representative of the women’s association was more embarrassed by the fact that it was not advisable to apply to the social psychiatry service, because without the consent of the accused for treatment, the service is simply powerless, which means that the accused simply will not answer for his crime.
