Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen – The slogan "Black lives matter" ("Black lives count") is long-see also demonstrations in Germany, including in Munich. After the violent death of George Floyd at the time of arrest by a US COP criticism was, in this context, sometimes loudly, in the German police, there is also a "latent racism". And, most recently, a may be resulting negative sentiment towards the police was even called as a possible reason for the violence of Stuttgart. To respondents, this theme of the Tölzer Kurier Alexander Huber, press spokesman of the police headquarters in upper Bavaria South in Rosenheim.

How often be reported to the police in the district, cases of racism? The topic here is present in the Region?

In our statistics are not broken down the Numbers of politically motivated crime by County, but only to the areas of competence of the criminal police inspections. In the area of the police because of the home – so the land Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen circles, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Weilheim-Schongau – was there last year, 74 crime in the area "politically motivated criminality – right". Including propaganda offences, sedition, damage to property, swastika graffiti and the like but. It's just a display case of body injury was. Racist acts of violence are not given here so more – thank God!

Some politicians, such as SPD Chairman Saskia esque have of the police "latent racism" are accused of. What do you say?

we don't Express ourselves. Statements of politicians, we will not comment as the police in General.

2019 it was the right 74 offences in the area of "politically motivated crime".

controlled Black of the police more frequently than White?

This is a question that is asked of us for many years – but this is not an issue for us. We work in a professional manner. If we look, for example, according to a white tank robbers, are we, in this context, no Black control. Is reported to us that at a focal point of black Africans doing drugs, then we do not control the Nordic-looking people. This is so depending on the phenotype to be searched for. Apart from that, the appearance does in the case of controls, no role and has never played a role.

so you Feel a General suspicion exposed?

we do not Feel. It may be that the topic is encountered with one or the other colleagues on a lack of understanding. But we professionally make our Job – and are also happy about the diversity in our own ranks.

"we Feel no suspicion

exposed to," do you Believe that the results from the United States over sloped discussion of police racism to a more negative sentiment towards police officers? Are aggression felt towards the police here in our Region?

violence against police officers is a topic that concerns us, and has increased in the last ten years. 2009 were recorded in the Bureau area 484 offences in the area of violence against police officers. Including assault or resistance against law enforcement officials as well as insults, threats, or coercion to fall. Last year, there were 770 such offences, an increase of almost 60 percent. The city of Rosenheim with a Frequency of 212 cases per 100 000 inhabitants, on the third place among all Bavarian cities with more than 20 000 inhabitants, in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is among the Bavarian districts in 5th place. We see that in some Parts of the population of the respect eroded to the police. At the same time current studies show that the level of trust in the police remains high. As a result, we see ourselves in the Faith, that the broad mass of the population stands behind the police and us in a positive looks. And to ensure that this remains so, we will conduct our work in a professional manner.
