Germany is no longer safe, personally signed by Manuel Ostermann

The safety of people in Germany increasingly seems to be irrelevant to many politicians. While they outdo each other in ever wilder statements of sympathy after new terrorist attacks, exactly one thing happens concerning prevention: nothing. Everything continues as before. While crime statistics are exploding, the migration crisis is further escalating, and German streets have become powder kegs in many places, on the other hand, the police as law enforcers are increasingly losing authority. Police officers on the front lines, risking their lives, are caught in a field of tension between enforcing police measures and hostility and defamation in society. And they never know in what condition – healthy or injured – they will come home in the evening. They increasingly feel like mere pawns between politics and society, hardly appreciated and far too little supported.

Manuel Ostermann, one of Germany's most renowned police officers, is sounding the alarm. It's five minutes to midnight! Extremism in any form, whether from the left, from the right, or religiously motivated, must finally be fought equally. Extremist forces in Germany must not be allowed to radicalize further, and internal security must not erode. His credo: "Without security, no freedom. Without freedom, no democracy." Manuel Ostermann's book is a passionate and deeply well-founded plea for a maximum political and social turnaround before it is too late.
