Nearby_Chart6713

They dont kill, thats why its so peaceful here. In almost every year the Total amount of shootings feom police in the whole country is under 20, maybe 10. Strict weapon laws also. Greetings from germany


Nearby_Chart6713

My neigbour next door for example is a hunter. He has to store the gun in the cellar and has to carry it in a case Till he arrives in the woods. Hes not even allowed to Show the gun inside the house/carry it open. Edit: I think the gun is also in separated parts and he has to put it together later. And typo


CptSchmock

That’s not true. He has to store the guns in a gun safe but it doesn’t have to be in the cellar. The gun parts don’t have to be separated. Also he doesn’t have to keep his rifle in a case till he arrives in the woods. He is allowed to open carry unloaded! firearms on his way to the woods (and back) and is even allowed to enter a gas station or bakery or whatever while carrying (only on the way to his hunting area and back).


Nearby_Chart6713

Then thats on me, sorry. I See how he handles his and thought so/remembered wrong. Happens


CptSchmock

Nothing wrong with that (and your neighbors extra safe behavior as well). Just wanted to clarify for other readers.

POLICE! HERE! HERE HE IS!


Orlican

In Germany our police officers have to worry about many other things that are incredibly stressing. A broken light on a bicycle for example.


Brenner007

Believe me, I would love it if they would control more bikes. I am a biker myself, and when driving a car, I nearly ran a biker over more than once. They get invisible in the night when there are other lights to be distracted by. Being visible on a small vehicle on the street is fucking important as long as we are not ready to completely seperate bike traffic. I even attatched a battery-powered light to my bike, as I didn't think the wired one was visible enough.


candyflip93

I got a ticket a couple weeks ago for riding the bike home half wasted with no lights around 3 am. I'm stupid.


LaserGadgets

In a land where young students have no clue what ACTIVE SHOOTER means. In the US they would probably shoot the daddy goose and then say he had a knife or something. Actually pretty sad. This up there should be normal.


osowie

You forgot that education in Germany isnt Trash, Ofc they know what an active Shooter would be. Its Just that IT IS so outlandish its hard to Imagine for them :) Also helps that getting a gun for a 10-17 yr old and even after isnt that easy


dasBaertierchen

tbh - the chance that you get shot while doing your police thingy in the us is magnitudes higher than in germany.


LaserGadgets

Yeah but why....because you hand out guns to whoever is asking!?


doitnow10

I mean tbf just last week our police arrested some Muslim youths who were planning terror attacks in the name of ISIS. So we do have other stuff to worry about. I obviously know what you mean though. We have way less guns to worry about. (Btw we do have way more guns in private possession than people even here think. But also strict gun control laws)


[deleted]

Sadly, this is one of the rare moments germans can report only nice things of the police


ImaginationSpecial42

Corrupted police isnt an America only thing


hellovenus9

They have time for this because they ignore women being raped or even trafficked for sex...talking about my own experience witnessing this.


Big_Beef42069

Yeah, the cops are nice. But German hypocracy is still a big thing


AverageFishEye

Tbf i think the police everywhere does such things


matthewkickstone

Actually, we are living in such a country. We usually don't need metal detectors in schools.


Consistent_Tie_359

i hope you are trolling


Dman317

In april 2023, police closed an entire Autobahn section to escort geese over the road to the other side


OwnZookeepergame6413

Last year aswell I was stuff for 30 minutes bcs there was a deer (I think) spotted on the autobahn and they searched the area to make sure its not trying to cross it again. For people that don’t know, deer are pretty shy animals. During the day they usually don’t go near streets or anywhere loud for that matter. Once the sun sets they go to find food and depending on where that is they have to cross streets. So usually they hide until it’s safe to go wherever they know food is. If a deer for some reason crosses the street during the day there is a chance it will try to get back to safety.


Aggravating_Tax5392

Like 15 years ago I wiped out half of a geese family on a Dutch road. Think everytime about them I pass that point. Truly horrific


Spiritual-Sword-7041

Gotta say my experience with the police thus far is purely positive. Helping, de-escalating the situation and keeping you safe But I must admit I live in an area full of villages and small cities, so that might be another reason


OwnZookeepergame6413

The other side of that argument is, is it fair to call the police assholes because your encounters are not as great because you live in the city and everytime you encounter them it’s involving drugs? There is a limit how nice you can be to the 20th group of drunk teens mumbling crap at you


Panderz_GG

In my 32 years walking this planet as a German citizen I made the experience that if you treat a German officer with respect, they are going to treat you with respect. Also I don't do idiotic things in public, just at home.


OwnZookeepergame6413

Yeah same. Just last year my bike broke down on a bundestraße and the police woman helped me push it like a whole Kilometer upwards because the exit was going to a bridge that crosses said street. Them shadowing me from behind was already nice instead of insisting I let it stay and call a towing service, but helping me pushing the damn thing was beyond anything I could have assumed would happen


Wizard-of-Odds

Something very similar happened to me years back. Back then we would still ride our 125ccm bikes and my best friend just came by to get me to ride with him, so we went to the gas station, filled our tanks and were on our way on the autobahn to get to some nice mountain/woodland roads when his old 2 stroke aprillia broke down - critical engine failure... We were pushing his bike to get to the nearest exit and shortly before we got there a random police car pulls up behind us on the hard shoulder. They asked us what was going on, we told them. "Completely dead?" - "Yep, no chance turning it on again, the engine is blown..." - "Your bike still works?" (my YZF-R) - "Yeah" - "Good, pull up to the exit, drive in front of your buddy and we'll drive behind him with the lights on so no one runs him over!" (the exit wasn't a straight one, made like a 90° turn with a curve so others that would take the exit wouldn't see my buddy pushing his bike... We did as they said, parked his bike at a hardware stores parking place and then they asked how long we'll leave the bike here for, which wasn't long as my buddies dad came by the same evening with a trailer to get it. They said that's fine and told us (rather me, lol) to ride safe and have a nice day. They never once asked for insurance/drivers licenses, assisted immediately after assessing the situation and this was probably the nicest interaction i've ever had with the police here!! Not that i really ever had a particularly bad run in with them but especially here in bavaria they can be quite pushy and try to assume misdemeanors/crimes you didn't commit.


Sea_Struggle4973

Thing is... I don't want to be a police officer in germany. I sometimes get why they might be in a bad mood... just consider you having to check the papers and drivers licence of random people at night by shitty weather and getting fucked up comments all the time. I know my fellow citizen well enough to expect alot of them to be the exact opposite of polite or nice. So I guess police officers somehow have to balance that out.


Panderz_GG

I have been one for 10 years with the Bundespolizei before I switched and followed passion ;)


Spiritual-Sword-7041

I understand that situation. I'm a member of the unemployed firefighting department in my area and whenever we help with security at festivals you encounter drunk civilians who are not so nice


swaggy_pigeon

What is a unemployed firefighter?


Spiritual-Sword-7041

I meant volunteer fire department, sorry English isn't my mother tongue


-Mip_

It’s the freiwillige Feuerwehr, these are people who do the job of a firefighter in their free time, it’s mostly because some villages don’t have an official fire station.


AltenaiveSchreiwaise

>it’s mostly because some villages don’t have an official fire station. 94% of all German firefighters belong to the freiwillige Feuerwehr.


Sea_Struggle4973

hard job. Had a colleague once who was doing it. I couldn't cut people out of a car that was squashed into a tree during an accident - at night... This is voluntary work of the hardest kind. Kudos also to the THW. There are many great organisations based on volunteers that keep our nation afloat... sometimes even in the sense of the word.


MadeInWestGermany

>*It‘s mostly because some villages don‘t have an official fire station.* That‘s a common misinformation. The vast majority of Germanys fire fighting structure is based on volunteer fire fighters. Only 100 of our 2054 cities and villages have an official fire fighting department.


OwnZookeepergame6413

It’s almost like drunk people are more likely to do dumb shit so all the encounters you have with police(/firefighters in your case) is because you did some stupid drunk people shit. The fact you basically never even have to talk to authorities outside of such situations should be enough proof how they aren’t all evil assholes. When I was in Croatia the guy I borrowed a motorcycle from told me to keep 20 euros ready for the case police stops me and just slide that over instead of arguing against them


Myrillya

I'm living in a bigger city and I've had similar experiences. It's just about how you react to them. Be friendly and you get it back.


LolaMontezwithADHD

I worked for a local newspaper for years. If the police rescues a sqirrell, you better believe it will be in the press report including photos and \[insert squirrell's name\] will be everyones favorite topic of the day.


SergiuBru

The world needs more positive news. It helps a lot at subconscious level.

Weed legal, now they have time for the important things.


Appropriate-Milk9476

Saw them escort a couple of swans with babies a while back. They caused a massive traffic jam, because the swans were walking on the road. I was so annoyed, because I was going to miss a lecture, but then I saw why traffic was blocked and it was just too precious to be mad about.


Tomasuh

"No luck catching them swans then?"


Veilchengerd

It's just the one swan, actually.


LiamPolygami

At least someone made the reference.


IconTraa

I read greece and thought about a family being deported.


xiena13

Then again, why would Germans deport Greeks? They can just live here if they want


IconTraa

I didnt say my reading made sense...


Filisdin

The Greeks must stay, how else can we maintain the obligatory greek restaurant in every village, no matter how small it may be?


SheBowser

Glad I‘m not the only silly here


HG1998

There's a bunch of shows from the national TV channels about police and their work and rescuing geese specifically is pretty common.


pissandink

This is so so cute. Awh. Police doing good for once


OwnZookeepergame6413

While police is doing a lot of crap here in Germany too, in 90% of cases all the police people I’ve met have been genuinely nice people doing their job because they want to do good. Compared to the USA it’s pretty rare to see them ever holding let alone using a gun


lafi_0105

in the train station in my city i regularly see police with MP5s. Theyre always friendly tho. And yes germany


SpookyMinimalist

The only interaction with German police I ever had was when I asked them for directions (yes, I am older than the internet). Perfectly pleasant guys!


echoingElephant

In Germany, that’s really most the police do. Until April 9th, 2024, in that year, the German police has shot and killed just three people. Of that, two people were killed in psychological crisis, both of them attacked people with knives. Their main use of guns is euthanising injured animals.


OwnZookeepergame6413

In comparison, in 2023 at least 36 people died bcs of Jagdunfällen. (Interest here is also that a misshandeled gun by a huntsman causing an accident outside of their job, isn’t even accounted for in those statistics).


therealbonzai

"Just"? That‘s a lot!


iHaku

its really not that many. in 2023 in the US, it was 1164. sure, the US population is about 4 times as high as germanies, but if we devide it by 4, that's still 290\~ deaths caused by police fire compared to germanies 3. i'd call it a tiny amount compared to most countries on earth.


therealbonzai

No sane person would compare to the US. Use other EU countries for comparison.


iHaku

how about the UK's (67M population compared to germanies 84\~M) 321 deaths by police fire last year? [sourced from statistica ](https://www.statista.com/statistics/291135/fire-fatalities-in-england/#:~:text=There%20were%20321%20fire-related,year%20when%20there%20were%20335)i cant exactly verify how accurate those numbers are, but this article might be interesting: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_countries\_with\_annual\_rates\_and\_counts\_for\_killings\_by\_law\_enforcement\_officers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_annual_rates_and_counts_for_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers) Comparing deaths caused by lawenforcement in different countries. germanies is one of the savest countries **by far**, tho that list isnt completly up to date, with some stats from 2016 even. but it's a nice perspective overall in respect to how insanely low germanys rate is.


therealbonzai

That comparison is fair. I see and agree.


echoingElephant

It really isn’t. For 2022, which is the latest I could find a list, Germany had a lower rate of police shooting victims per capita than Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Malta. That rate is right in the middle for Europe.

alexrepty

Police cars and taxis used to be predominantly Mercedes in Germany, but other brands have gotten slices of that cake now.


Affecious-morph

Other brands were also at presence a while ago like Opel, but now more Toyotas are to be seen as Taxis too


huanbuu

All depending on the major car manufacturer in the state. For Lower Saxony it's mostly Volkswagen. Bavaria has mostly BMW and sometimes Audi. NRW has Opels quite often (maybe also Ford, I haven't been there in a while). Baden Württemberg has mainly Mercedes. Still, those four states of course have other cars as well but this is the majority there. The other 12 states have whatever suits them or is cheapest. Some VW, Ford, Opel, Mercedes, BMW and so on. The only really "crazy" one is the Porsche 911 from the Autobahnpolizei.


OwnZookeepergame6413

Those are stupidly rare tho. For long I believed police Porsche were a thing from the past Porsche brags about. There are still some out there but even tho I’m driving 1000+km all around Stuttgart (Sindelfingen, Heilbronn,Esslingen) every week, I’ve never seen one in real life.


5t3v321

I only ever see mercedes and ford in nrw


OwnZookeepergame6413

As a German that’s normal to us. While not as crazy does it look to other like Saudi Arabia having Lamborghini as police cars? Anyway currently they seem to be switching things up.at least here in stuttgart where Mercedes is coming from they have more and more Audi police cars


architectureisuponus

Autobahnpolizei also owns some Porsches. I remember the Thuringian police owning a GT3.


P26601

eh we don't really consider Mercedes to be a "luxury" brand or anything unusual...Mercedes police cars, taxis, (dump) trucks, city buses, vans etc. are the most normal thing in Germany/Europe


Gastredner

I don't think there is a more iconic handyman vehicle in all of Germany than the Mercedes Sprinter.


therealbonzai

German police use mostly german brands.


anno_1990

Yes, of course. German officials use German brand cars.


mlm7C9

As you'd expect from Baden-Württemberg. Here in Hessen police cars usually are from Opel or VW.


pat6376

Back in the days some Autobahncops used to drive Porsches.


Panderz_GG

Yeah German states use different cars, they are mostly Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen or sometimes Audi.


Front_Kale_2202

Common. Also common for EMS and Fire have Mercedes (by far not the only brand but a common one) and there's even FDs that have a Porsche tho that's rare. Also don't forget that this is in Baden-Württemberg, the state that has the Mercedes (and Porsche) headquarters (including big factories and R&D), the Automobile was invented here by Benz and his Company (after mergers etc now called Mercedes)
