Police investigating the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year’s Eve claim they were ordered to remove the word “rape” from their initial report.

Local officers had produced an internal “important event” memo entitled “rape, sexual harassment, thefts, committed by a large group of foreign people” – the first indication of the scale of the incident which would go on to make headlines around the world.

According to Cologne newspaper Express, officers received a phone call from the state police control centre ordering them to take down the report “or otherwise delete the phrase ‘Vergewaltigung’” – “rape”.

A senior Cologne police officer told Express he was informed of the order by a colleague who took the call, and that state police understood it to be “the wish of the state interior ministry”.

The allegation of a political cover-up puts serious pressure on North Rhine-Westphalia interior minister Ralf Jäger, in a scandal which has already seen Cologne police chief Wolfgang Albers forced into early retirement.

Express published a letter it had received from a high-ranking Cologne policeman, named as Joachim H, who was on duty on New Year’s Day and described his colleague receiving the order.

Police ultimately refused the request, leaving the word “rape” in their report, and the news would eventually reach the wider world.

According to German media reports, opposition politicians in NRW state are calling for Mr Jäger to be sacked.

The interior minister was due to address an interior policy committee meeting on Thursday, and his spokesman said he would answer questions on the new reports then.

He denied a cover-up, but confirmed “professional discussions” had taken place between state controllers and Cologne police over the “classification” of the New Year’s Eve assaults.

Mr Jäger’s spokesman told the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung: “It is not true that the rapes on New Year’s Eve in Cologne were supposed to be kept quiet.”

 

Pretty awful. Seems to have been a political ploy by Merkel so her ratings wouldn't drop when people heard what some of the immigrants she brought in were doing.

Diversity is our strength. It's 2016. If you don't support mass migration from the Middle East into Europe it is because you are a bigot. Rape isn't just an immigrant problem, all men need to be taught not to rape. We need to make sure we judge people by their genitals and skin colour, not their actions or beliefs.

 

Am I doing it right Prince Justin?

Come on now, are there no other reasons?  I know a few Trumpers in Washington, and they are fairly normal people, but they are assholes as well, so maybe you are on to something.
