rehe behavior of a police chief during a demonstration with around 250 participants on Sunday in Dresden is being investigated after public criticism. In a video distributed on Twitter, he said: “Push me and you’ll take a bullet.” He puts his hand on his service weapon to prevent it from being taken from him as a precaution, as the police department announced at night.
“The sentence fell like this,” confirmed police chief Jörg Kubiessa. “The colleague admitted it and apologized for it.” The incident must be investigated, taking into account the circumstances. According to Kubiessa, the situation was “hectic and confusing.” However, Kubiessa did not see any grounds for disciplinary action, as requested in comments on the internet. “However, the bottom line is that, for me, it is indisputable that that phrase should not be used.”
According to the police, a pot of smoke had been thrown from the meeting. When the operations chief wanted to secure this as evidence, he was harassed by 25 to 30 masked participants. “The officer felt an impact at chest level,” he said. Securing the service weapon in such a situation was “correct and absolutely appropriate,” Kubiessa said.
However, the sole action of the official contradicts the principles of self-protection. According to the statement, the officer has credibly assured “that the use of a firearm or even threatening her was never an option for him.”
