Report: German Politician Prevented Police Sharing Image of [] Market Attacker ‘to Prevent Racism’
Breitbart.com ^ | 24 December 2016 | Victoria Friedman

German police and judiciary have accused Hamburg Justice Minister Till Steffen of delaying the release of pictures of the Christmas market attacker Anis Amri because he was worried about provoking “racist” comments on Facebook.

Green Party politician Steffen cited “privacy concerns” when he initially prevented law enforcers from releasing pictures of Anis Amri.

However, it has been claimed by members of the judiciary and the police that Steffen, who is the head of the judicial authority in Hamburg, denied the release of images of Amri because he was concerned it would incite racial hatred.

It is alleged that he only released images after a 12-hour delay following a call from German newspaper Bild.

Joachim Lenders, Hamburg’s chief of police, told Bild:

“It is incomprehensible to throw such a spanner in the works of investigators. Steffen is incompetent.”

That politician should be arrested and tried as an accessory.

He directly aided the jihadiscum’s attempt to out-run justice.

Law for all or law for none.

I honestly can’t fathom what goes on in the minds of people like this, including Merkel and others of her ilk. With Obama, it is easy, given he is a lying closet muslim.

It is not racism to identify perpetrators of heinous crimes. And photographs are excellent means of identification.

It is impossible to separate racial characteristics from a photographic likeness of anyone. Certain things are immediately obvious to even the most unprejudiced observer.

Skin color, gender, facial characteristics, even state of personal grooming, are all sharply delineated with more modern forms of photography. And if you are trying to track somebody down, all are essential to refine your search.

Political Correctness is not concerned with truth.

It’s origins are in the discussions of communist party cadre’s arguments, in which a member would say “That is not objectively correct” and the retort would be “No, but it is politically correct.”

If this is true, he should have his ass kicked.

Police Officer Cristian Movio Was wounded in the capture of the terrorist. The politician should be held criminally and personally liable.
