The German police are just not having it with racist nonsense today.
Polizei Mannheim, the official Twitter handle of the Mannheim police force in Germany, posted this update about the recent Heidelberg attack...
#Heidelberg #Bismarckplatz Tatverdächtiger: 35-jähriger Deutscher. 1 Opfer mittlerweile verstorben. Pressemeldung: https://t.co/YhUOmNAQiF— Polizei Mannheim (@Polizei Mannheim) 1488054333
Which Kareem Lailah helpfully re-posted with an translation in English.
A user, with the name 'Brexit means Brexit', decided to add their thoughts to this tragic loss of life:
FYI, the user has a bio that reads: "Anti-EU. Anti-Islamification. We need greater democratic powers to stop our imbecile politicians wrecking our lives. Pro-Trump Brit."
They probably weren't expecting the police force to get back in touch with this simple, but appropriate, question:
@woodside2010 @KareemLailah WTF are you talking about?— Polizei Mannheim (@Polizei Mannheim) 1488056903
Now, Lailah may have had a point when he said:
@PolizeiMannheim Please don't get dragged to such awful attitude and low level. Keep the professional work you are doing & ignore racists— Ḱ@яℯℯм ℒαḯł@н (@Ḱ@яℯℯм ℒαḯł@н) 1488057404
However, with the amount of animosity on the internet nowadays, the police force may be forgiven for being a tad unprofessional today.
The German police have clearly run out of patience with crazy twitter racists #heidelberg https://t.co/U0A81rAPur— Ned Richardson-Little (@Ned Richardson-Little) 1488095826
Preach.
