Germany records rise in violence against women
A woman is killed by a partner or former partner nearly every two days in Germany. Activists have called on the government to do more to end violence against women.
Summary
A woman is killed by a partner or ex-partner nearly every two days in Germany, with 155 such murders in 2023, according to the first-ever Federal Criminal Police Office report on gender-specific crimes.
Activists and officials are calling for stronger protections, but Germany’s anti-domestic violence law remains stalled in political negotiations.
Women’s shelters lack 14,000 spaces, forcing some victims to travel hundreds of kilometers for safety.
Funding gaps, insufficient legal protections, and high costs deter many from seeking help, perpetuating cycles of violence.

Fitting to the occasion a demonstration against violence against women was beaten up brutally be the police in Berlin yesterday evening. The demonstration was raising awareness to the violence against women in Gaza.
While the German foreign minister Baerbock claims to follow a "feminist" foreign policy, this only extends to white women.

The police yesterday were brutal. Germany is on its downward spiral into totalitarianism

(1) Whoever does not render assistance in the case of an accident or a common danger or emergency although it is necessary and can reasonably be expected under the circumstances, in particular if it is possible without substantial danger to that person and without breaching other important duties, incurs a penalty of imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or a fine.
(2) Whoever obstructs a person who is rendering or wishes to render assistance to another person in such a situation incurs the same penalty.
Penalty would be bumped up because committed while in office. Additionally if there's consequences they'd be looking at negligent bodily harm or even manslaughter (because Garantenstellung).
So, question: Did anyone actually file a criminal complaint or is this whole thing going to be limited to shaky tiktoks that don't give nearly enough context to tell what's actually going on?
And, lastly: Police actually have some medical training. They know how to handle unconscious people safely.

Police systematically obstructs and lies in investigations against police officers. Also when filing a complaint often an immediate charge comes back claiming you would have assaulted officers, for which half a dozen officers are eager to testify.

Not an issue with video evidence and evidently there was a camera present. Guy should've documented shit instead of filming himself.
I don't even have words for how sus that is: "Look! A crime is being committed!" -- stares into camera, refuses to show crime.
