Cop Story

German cops are required on occasion, to do bar-checks....to establish that everyone in a pub is over the age of 18.  Focus brought this story up today....over a check from Sunday evening up in Essen (north Germany).

Two cops show up (man and a woman) at a shisha bar.  Some young guy attempts to leave in a hurry and the cops are after the young guy.  At some point, in some kind of scuffle....the female cop is pushed to the ground.  Then the male cop ends up on the ground.  The young punk....on the attack, first at the male cop, and then the female cop.

The thing about this scuffle....both cops were in trouble, and a group of ten men all stood on the street....watching this unfold, and doing nothing.  At this point in the episode, two German guys in a car and passing the scuffle....stopped and got out....overpowering the young punk.  You would think the business was done.....but no.

Then five other 'punks' appeared and continued some sort of attack (kicking the female cop).  Fortunley for all....more cops now arrive and take down the five and original punk.

Drunkenness?  Well....cops believe all six were drunk to some degree.  But this aggressive nature to take on the cops and attack them?  It's not something that you'd typically anticipate.  My guess is that the cops will target this bar and it'll undergo age-checks on a routine basis with six to ten cops in attendance. 

Most American GI's who lived around Frankfurt in the 1970s would caution folks.....don't go stupid and cause cops any extra 'pain'....those cops carried billy-clubs and were prone to use them.  It just makes one wonder what kind of idiots got into this attack-cops mode and what they expected in the end.
