Four people were badly injured in the clash described as a conflict between migrant families in Germany. The Cologne Police released 7 previously detained people as at this phase they failed to show the degree of suspicion required for them. The case shows how crucial it is to rapidly identify investigators and to be honest about threats.
Four people with severe injuries
European Conservative reported a violent clash in Germany where 4 people suffered severe injuries. The portal described the event as a conflict between migrant families. The available material does not state the nationality of the participants or the full course of the event, so this information must not be supplemented by conjecture.
The Cologne police initially detained 7 people. They were all subsequently released. Officers explained that they were incapable to find the level of suspicion required for detainees. The dismissal does not settle the full case, but means that there is no reason to present these persons as perpetrators.
Safety requires facts
Severe injuries to 4 people are a serious event regardless of the origin of the participants. The state has a work to find who utilized violence, what motive and whether the conflict constitutes a further threat. Residents are entitled to reliable information, not to half-truths utilized by any organization to the migration dispute.
Migration policy should take into account the state's ability to enforce, control and respond to violence. This does not mean collective work of migrants. work is individual and the effectiveness of institutions remains a public matter.
The German State must regain control
If the investigation confirms an organized household conflict, a firm consequence from law enforcement will be necessary. If it does not confirm, the media should equally clearly correct earlier suggestions. In both cases, the rule is the same: the law is to act against circumstantial acts and individuals.
For Poland comes a applicable lesson. Migration control shall not end with entry registration. It includes the real capacity of the state to prevent force and defend residents. specified ability will not replace either political correctness or collective prosecution of people without evidence.
