Police shoot Afghans: Palmer warns of violent men
in the district of Göppingen, Baden-Württemberg, on June 26, 2025 there was a fatal incident in which an asylum seeker from Afghanistan was shot by the police. The incident occurred when the police wanted to give the Afghan a demonstration order. However, he started the official with a knife and seriously injured a police officer, but not life -threatening. As a result, the police gave up several shots that met the attacker and led to the death of the 32-year-old. In view of the events, Baden-Württemberg's Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU) called up to defend the use of firearms and rudely condemned the knife attack. This reports heidelberg24.de . On the other hand,
Tübingen's Mayor Boris Palmer critically commented on the incidents and spoke of “violent men” from violent societies. After a previous knife attack in Aschaffenburg, Palmer had asked for "finally acts" to follow in order to counter such violence. In his opinion, the social integration and the challenges with which many asylum seekers come from crisis areas must also be discussed. The Green politician Cem Özdemir also supported the police in this difficult situation and emphasized the need to carefully control who can get into the country. This reports merkur.de .
social discussion
The incident has triggered a debate about the problems and challenges associated with the integration of migrants. Palmer refers to structural problems that many could perceive as racist prejudices. He calls for a rethink in society and a more honest discussion about the motives and behaviors of migrants. The question also plays a role in how the country should deal with people from violent societies.
The fatal incident raises questions about dealing with mentally stressed people. The police often see themselves in a difficult situation when it comes to acting quickly and effectively while at the same time wanting to respect people's rights. These tensions are particularly relevant in the current discussions about migration and security.
The different views of Palmer and Strobl reflect the complex and often emotionally guided debate that affects not only politics, but also society as a whole. It remains to be seen which measures are taken to prevent the reality of such dramatic incidents in the future.
