Cops are cops, it seems.
Weirdly enough, the police is well educated over here. So they can’t even claim ignorance.
ACAB
I hope not being a nazi or a pedo doesn’t require an education for people. That’s just obvious shit to me
Pedophilia is a mental condition, much like homosexuality. They don’t choose to be one, they know it’s wrong. I bet there are plenty of closeted pedos (i.e. don’t act on their urges and trying to lead normal lives). The only difference is that homosexuality occurs between consenting adults, and doesn’t hurt anyone except for the sensibilities of some righteous pious {profanity}, while pedos hurt innocent children, which is fucked up.
tl;dr some pedos are (very) bad for acting on their sexual preferences, they aren’t bad for having them. Taking this conclusion a bit further - making child porn is obviously abhorrent and one of the most heinous crimes I can imagine along with rape and murder, but watching these movies once they are made without profiting the perpetrators, isn’t so morally depraved. Especially if it keeps the urge to rape a child at bay.
Modern psychology says they shouldn’t be consuming those videos, it mentally normalizes to t. They need total abstinence, possibly removal from any source of any temptation, and if need be chemical or physical suppression of their desires.
Additionally homosexuality is a normal variant on human attraction, the full equal to heterosexuality not just culturally but in the eyes of psychology. Pedophilia is now understood to be a deviation in psychosexual development.
Additionally spreading csam in right wing extremist communities isn’t necessarily an expression of desire but at times is done to trauma bond members
And finally the feelings of the victims must be considered. It cannot be safely or reasonably assumed that any significant portion of people would be comfortable with people passing around and masturbating to their childhood sexual exploitation.
There is no safe or healthy outlet for those desires.
It was not long ago that homosexuality was also categorized as deviation in psycho-sexual development. The American Psychiatric Association listed homosexuality in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1952. In 1968, DSM-II also listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. Not until 1987 did homosexuality completely fall out of the DSM. Pedophilia is in the DSM just, as opposed to Homosexuality, because it could possibly cause harm to others - that’s the sole distinction.
There were no big studies regarding the effects of consuming child porn, but the little there is seems to suggest it does not exacerbate the condition, or lead to higher probability of a physical offense: https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-244X-9-43
Moreover, child pornography seems to be a protective factor, according to Diamond, Jozifkova and Weis (2010). They examined the number of sexual offenses that took place in Czechoslovakia from the 70’s till the end of 2007. At the end of 1989 the velvet revolution took place; the Czech Republic became a democracy and the prohibition of pornography was lifted. During the next 17 years child pornography was accepted. Initially one would expect that the number of sexually abused children would increase, but Diamond and his colleagues concluded the opposite. During the same 17 years, they found a decrease in the number of cases of sexual abused children. Also in Japan and Denmark child sexual abuse decreased in the period when child pornography was not prohibited.
In fact, there’s a suggested investigation for treatment utilizing virtual child porn.
The difference to the US is that these 3 guys got found out, and will most likely go to jail.
The nazi party is illegal in Germany.
Well there’s the AfD right now… Which is practically a fascist party.
Doesn’t change the type of people that seek power over others.
Claim ignorance? How? “I didn’t learn in school that neo-nazism and abusing children is frowned upon in society” ?
Ok, you know different cops “over here”. In Hannover they’re mostly on the simple side, more spoons in the knife drawer, candles in a lamp shop. No boookz, more harassing homeless folks or kicking teenagers. Educa-what? All in all - despicable group of people. That’s not an opinion, that’s an observation over decades btw. So - it fits and doesn’t surprise at all.
Not these anymore they aren’t.
what the fuck
To the surprise of no one.
“The allegations shocked me. In criminal law, the presumption of innocence also applies here. Nevertheless, the allegations are so serious that after examining each individual case, I immediately banned the three officers from conducting official business,” Friederike Zurhausen, the police chief of Recklinghausen, said in a statement.
This police chief did more than most do.
I have to wonder if things like child porn among law enforcement is a sort of test to see if the others are as committed to disregarding the law. If you say nothing, you have viewed and are currently in possession of child pornography in your chats, which becomes leverage. If you report it, you are outed as a nark and will become a target.
Yet another another isolated incident?!
No one is surprised. People don’t join the police to serve the people, they join it to bully them. We all know the gems attracted to positions like that.
Alles nur Einzelfälle…
All these Cats Are Beautiful too?
It never surprises me when nazis and cp are used in the same sentence. If this was us conservative and republicans would be part of that sentence too.
Who should we trust if not in those who have sworn to protect us and the law?
Communities defend communities.
Swearing to protect is vapid symbolism that anyone can feign with ease, and the laws are rarely decided by the people subject to them. The fact that so many people trust state police is amazing once we take a step back and analyse it.
Interesting case studies include real places that evicted police and politicians.
Those swearing they will protect the law (or any thing else) are usually not the ones actually doing it
Just another Tuesday for German cops.
I am jack’s complete lack of surprise
Those two things do go hand-in-hand a lot.
You didn’t even have to say German
Are they teaching the British Met, or are the Met teaching them?
