Re: Good Policing
well when you're not like the US, where everyone's distracted with arresting people for Marijuana... you tend to do things right.
Yes its a half a joke but hey, i bet if cops here were spending less time arresting ppl for weed, they'd arrest more people trying to commit more heinous offenses!!!!
Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!
In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
Re: Good Policing
I'm American and I agree that our homeland security and police efforts are monstrously misappropriated. Billions on airport security and during tests the FBI is still able to smuggle bombs through the security systems. But yeah, if you're smoking pot at a coffeeshop, watch out.

Re: Good Policing
That's a blatantly unfair characterization of our police work here in the U.S.A. We also spend money to have them stake out bathrooms to make sure no gay men are tapping their wingtip shoes at one another. Or as we like to call it, "Real police work."

So true.

Re: Good Policing
Germany has a history of being very capable of dealing with terrorist threats.
A personal favourite of mine is the "suicide" commited by one of the members of the "rote armé fraction" - terrorist cell.
This member commited suicide in jail by shooting herself in the head. Two times.
Re: Good Policing
Should have fired 3 times kneecaps first.
Re: Good Policing
No surprise here, Germans do everything better.
Re: Good Policing
It isn't mentioned it because that is them doing their job. Harrassing civilisans isn't part of the job description and as such it gets mentioned.
Good to hear it worked.
Rest in Peace TosaInu, the Org will be your legacy
Re: Good Policing
You mean like when they attempted to rescue the athletes in Munich and the terrorists were watching them deploy on the telly?
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Good Policing
....And a good thing that is too. The media is here to criticize those in power, they're not there to be their cheerleader gang.Nobody ever mentions it when you do something right.

Re: Good Policing
The media's job is to report the truth. Or to tell people what they want to hear about.
Re: Good Policing
One mistake, and a honest one:)You mean like when they attempted to rescue the athletes in Munich and the terrorists were watching them deploy on the telly?
Read up on GSG9, they have done some cool stuff:)

No, it is not. At the same time, I don't feel a shred of pity for the deceased in this case.
Re: Good Policing
I'm not sure how that's relevant as to whether or not we should applaud suspects being murdered in prison cells.

Re: Good Policing
Regardless, presuming he's talking about the Baader-Raspe-Ensslin suicide, it is not proven that any of them were murdered.
Re: Good Policing
Of course.

Re: Good Policing
Nope. Their main job is to shed light on things in need of criticism. A watchdog

Re : Good Policing
Germany a succesful track record in preventing terrorism? Far from it. More correct would be: Terrorism Central. For obvious reasons, the German state has been very reluctant over the past decades in it's use of force and surveillance against citizens.
As a result, terrorist have been able to operate from and in Germany with considerable succes. Palestians, Libyans, Germans, Irish, East Germans / communists, Saudis, Turks and Kurds have used Germany as a target. Or, more frequently, as a base to operate from. And as an easy country to attack a third party.
9-11 has raised the stakes in counter-terrorism, and Germany has become more decisive and resolute in anti-terror measures.

.. but they did it with such style.

Isn't that the truth. Where I work, oneup negates about ten "atta-boys".
