Cologne Police Chief Forced Into Early Retirement Over Sex Assaults on New Year's Eve

Cologne's police chief Wolfgang Albers has been forced into early retirement over his handling of mass sexual abuse of German women on New Year's Eve. Before resigning, Albers admitted that mistakes were made in an early report about the sexual assaults. North Rhine-Westphalia's governing cabinet will make Albers' retirement effective on Tuesday, but police officials made clear there's no chance of him returning to his job.

And rightfully so.

After the horrendous assaults -- which resulted in 170 women filing complaints for robbery and sexual assault, with at least two of them saying they were raped by a group of 1.000 men consisting mostly of immigrants and asylum seekers -- Albers and his fellow police officers did everything in their power to minimize the PR damage it would do to the immigrant community in their city.

Sadly for Albers, it was announced today that at least 31 of the men identified thus far were immigrants, 18 of whom were asylum seekers. That's undoubtedly what cost him his job.

What's more, critics also say that the police handled the assaults badly on New Year's Eve itself, with officers not even knowing what was going on. As a result, the sexual assaults, rapes and robberies could continue until the immigrant men became bored and decided to wage a war on the police by throwing rocks and fireworks at them. Even then police were not prepared or able to deal with the violence.

Forgot to add the last paragraph:

“Clearly Albers was responsible for this mess, which is why it’s good to see that he has been sacked. However, he’s not the only one who’s to blame. The most important person responsible is Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor. It is she who’s been advocating for more immigration, and who told Middle Eastern adventurers they were welcome in Germany. Without her appalling leadership and ideological devotion to political correctness and Grand Multicultural Fantasy, these attacks could never have happened.”

...and for the rest of the story

Angela merkel went on to appoint a fresh immigrant as a immigrants PR image manager for Albers position to guarantee the masking of islam.

Let the trojan run free, like Obama and his America!

Comments at The Conservative Treehouse imply he was forced to resign for spilling the beans, not for failure. He apparently predicted trouble and tried to get more officers for New Years, but was turned down. He shares responsibility, but isn’t he just a scapegoat?

I don’t think he was sacked for the events of New Years Eve.

I think he was sacked because one or more of his officers leaked the info to the media of the full extent of the molestations that happened, and that it was immigrants who did it.

The whole hierarchy, up to and including Merkel, needs to go.

He was fired, but not because of his inept response to the mass-rape. He was fired because he failed to kill the story. He changed his story several times, and the media picked it up.

The next guy will kill any story that criticizes refugees on sight, facts be damned.
