Oh dear seems the German Police are over reacting

German police screen hundreds of North Africans at Cologne station | Reuters

German police said they screened hundreds of North Africans on New Year's Eve at the main railway station in the western city of Cologne, where hundreds of women were sexually assaulted and robbed during celebrations a year ago.

Last year's attacks in Cologne, where police said the suspects were mainly of North African and Arab appearance, fuelled criticism of Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to allow over a million asylum seekers into Germany in 2015 and 2016.

"Hundreds of Nafris screened at main railway station," Cologne police tweeted using a colloquial expression for North Africans. With the tweet, the police showed a picture of a large group of men waiting behind barriers..

The lefties would be quite rightly incandescent if we did that here.

Firstly we don't have the same number of immigrants of North Africa hertigage here.

Secondly you clearly know nothing about the police's use of stop and search.

At least with insults you get a fighting chance. It's a kindness, really.

I insult you to try & appear intellectually superior. I can't argue the point as I don't understand it

Not unlike the Sus law and did the German police use such racist language like you?

The official statement:

Am Hauptbahnhof haben wir mehrere Hundert Personen, die augenscheinlich aus Afrika stammen, festgestellt. Diese werden nun auf dem Breslauer Platz kontrolliert. Ihre Identität wird festgestellt und dabei auch der ausländerrechtliche Status überprüft.
Es erfolgen unmittelbare Absprachen zwischen der Bundespolizei und der Polizei Köln.
Die Personengruppe ist unter Kontrolle und es geht von ihr keine Gefahr aus.
Diese Maßnahmen sind Teil des Einsatzkonzeptes.

Several hundreds of people, seemingly of African descent, have been tracked at Cologne main railway station. They are now being screened on the Breslauer Platz square for identity and legal status.
Federal Police and Cologne police together are arranging directly.
Persons are under kept under control and there is no imminent danger.
These measures are part of the operational concept.

A la gare de Cologne nous avons aperçu plusieures centaines de personnes, apparément d’origine nord-africaine. Ceux-ci se font interpeller sur la place « Breslauer Platz » afin de déterminer leur identité ainsi que leur droit de séjour.
La police fédérale est en concertation directe avec la police de Cologne.
Le groupe est sous contrôle et ne représente pas de danger.
Ces mesures font partie du plan d’intervention.

لاحظنا وجود عدة مئات الأشخاص اصلهم ، كما يبدو ، إفريقي. يتم التحقق منهم في ميدان ((برسلاور بلاتز)). يتم التحقق من هوياتهم الي جانب وضعهم القانوني كأجانب.
يتم التشاور المباشر بين الشرطة الاتحادية والشرطة في كولونيا.
إن تجمع الاشخاص تحت سيطرة الشرطة ولا يصدرعنه الخطر.
هذه الإجراءات جزء من خطة عمل الشرطة.

You might be unaware but unlike the UK, in most European countries you are required to carry an ID card and the police can stop you at anytime and ask to see it. If you don't have it, then it is an offence and you will be fined. This is also a very good method of keeping out undesirables and sending them back to where they belong which happens a lot in Germany, maybe the UK could implement something like that

Nafri as in the tweet reported is considered polite address? Darkies was the closest I could think of without being too offensive.

Several hundreds of people, seemingly of African descent, have been tracked at Cologne main railway station.

Can't imagine that statement appearing on the BBC website or even issued by the Met.

We refused the ID card mainly because of the previous abuses in other countries. Maybe we can issue the undesirables with Bright Badges so we know who they are? Of course IBM etc. will do a better job nowadays.

Not sure its a laughing matter. Last New year I was alarmed by the incidents you all tried to brush under the carpet, it seems the reaction this year by the Police is just as scary.

Sure. Keep telling yourself that, princess.
