^ The far-far-left senate of Berlin has pushed through a law that reverses the burden of evidence in case of claimed disicrimnation offences. It means that if the police gets accused by somebody that he was "discriminated" in the widest meaning, the claim is now legally seen as evidence as long as the police officers cnanot prove that they did not discriminate.

This is a leftist suicide coup of the worst kind. Police unions are in arms, but the black block faction and the far left squatters and anarchists are celebrating. I know from first hand report that officers already have started to quit. Right they do, its the only advice that is left to give.

The law also affects other official services of public amdinsitration. If you claim you have experienced disrmination, you must not prove it - the other has to prove that he did not discmrinate you.

The law is through all parliamentary instances and is now live and active.

Recently the Constitutional High Court ruled that the German secret services like Bundesnachrichtendienst, MAD shall no longer overhear anybody not just ion germany, but in foreign countries as well. In other words: they have been told to become incapable to do their job.



Madness rules.

Well, that’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard today. I believe that’s the definition of “knee-jerk overreaction”.

Do Police need to be held accountable and bought to justice for any abuses of power they commit? Obviously, anyone who would argue otherwise isn’t worth my time. But accusations are not evidence. If you need evidence, just make it illegal for police to turn off their body cams while on duty. That way any abuse of power will be documented.

What should I say, Berlin's political landscape has always been one of the two worst of the federal states in Germany, currently the senate is made up by a hollow-headed Teflon-socialist of zero courage and zero competentce who always hides away when he would have to make decisions, and the coalition is made of the leftiest Greens in Germany, the communist heirs of the SED, and the socialists. The city is mismanaged since decades, is massively cross-funded by other states, the senate is extremely close to its voter base in the anarchic and squatter scene, lefts, and amongst communists and protest-Greens and friends of Venezuela, ministries are led by quota-women and migrants-because-migrants-are-the-better-beings-and-appeal-to-our-voters (two of them are close to Turkish ultra-nationalists and Islamic fundamentalism), and incompetent diletantees who rate their ideological views higher than necessities dictated by reality, and then unify with the primitve plebs on the street, its all most disgusting, or in short: this senate represents some of the worst in german domestic politics. The opposition is not much better, degenerated in coruption and incompetence since decades. it was messy like this since the 80s already when we lived there for ten years, and my parents lived for another ten year after I left. It never was different, it always was a mess. Berlin is a toilet bowl.

Recent development is that the private patrons of arts and culture flee from the city in scores, three of the most prominent private patrons and collectors in this year alone, the biggest German fashion exhibition also has fled. Not that such an exhibition is important, but it is an image disaster and tells something on the trust of investors into the city. And then there is the airport...

Berlin'S debts amongst all 16 states are the third highest, they are almost as high as that of much bigger Lower Saxony in second, and a third of what Northrine Westphalia has at the top of the list. Only that NW also is much, much, much bigger and has the highest population of all states, and the industry zone of the Ruhr area and according big cities (which practically are one big city).

Well, its Berlin. I know it. I avoid it. If I were a businessman or an investor, at no cost I would consider Berlin. Nowhere else in Germany is the political adminstraiton as incompetent, as in Berlin.

True but they are expensive to defend against. Without some form of limited immunity no policeman could long afford lawyers to defend against the avalanche of civil lawsuits that the nature of their work would easily entail.

I think the exampel from Berlin has taken the fun out of the Onion. Because Berlin is no satire at all. Its reality.
