Your comments about this article:
In Poland it was the illegal seller of goods on the underground in Warszawa who got himself killed when he tried to escape the police last year.
In Norway it was an African named Obiora who when arrested resisted so much he died from the altercation.
In France it was the two "youths" who were chased by police and died after climbing a fence.
In Germay it's this case.
And you can bet your life on it that the left side are going to pounce on this and milk it for every drop.
Somehow they "forget" the hundreds of gang rapes committed by immigrants on indiginous European women, and men, in each European country every year. (Sweden and Norway top this statistic). Or the thousands of violent robberies, physical attacks and racist slurs that immigrants shout at Europeans every day. Or the DEATHS of Europeans from all this violence committed by immgrants, who are in the HUNDREDS.
But anti-racism is just another word for anti-white.
If it wasn't, we would see demonstrations and banners for Europeans attacked and killed by racist immigrants too.
You should all bow your heads in shame. I don´t why you think your racist views are relevant here. Is that how your illiterate minds will think and you would respond if it were your citizens killed by the police in Africa? so westerners don´t commit crime in Africa, Asia and the Middle East right? look, you better just stay out this forum or don´t comment on articles related to Black people, Africans or immigrants here if you´re tooempty headed, racist, ignorant and uninformed. The funny thing is that you´re all immigrants in these countries you call yours "native" europeans.
Totally agree about henry 1544 ,just a bit confused by the last comment .
We are not all in the "new" world.
