As a German, this is such a strange thing to read. This basically does not happen here. It is actually newsworthy when a police man had to shoot someone. There were, maybe, twelve people killed by police officers in 2020 (per ~83 million inhabitants!). Beside that, it's also fine to film police officers on duty? You might want to come over for a visit - it is actually really nice here.
(And fyi, on top of not being rooted in (German) reality, this was a slippery slope argument anyways.)
Edit: fourteen shot and three other deaths, according to [0]. Sadly this included two children and her police officer mother in a murder-suicide situation. That's why I am generally very glad that weapons aren't available to everyone here - you can't shoot yourself if you have no gun.

- blueking 5y agoOh I'm sorry you're a German living in a utopia? This clearly doesn't apply to you. You should just do whatever your government tells you. Turn off the camera, hand over the guns and get on the train. Everything will be Ok.
