SCANDAL in Stuttgart: Attackers with psychological problems threaten the police!

In the Stuttgart region, more precisely in the Ludwigsburg district, SHOCKING incidents are currently happening that are making your blood run cold! Psychologically disturbed people deliberately threaten emergency services with knives - the situation is catastrophic!

On Friday afternoon in Gerlingen there was an intimidating case in which a 38-year-old caused incredible chaos during his first contact with the police. On Jahnstrasse, this man went into a rage, armed himself with a long knife and threatened the emergency services: “I’ll stab you!” In a shocking psychological state, he swung the knife in front of him and ignored the police's urgent demands to put down the deadly tool. It was only when the police visibly threatened to use a firearm that the man let go of his deadly weapon and was arrested - an extremely explosive moment!

Another shocking incident

But that wasn't everything! The wave of violence continued on Sunday. In Ehningen, a concerned witness alerted the police about a 57-year-old who was aggressively waving a huge knife around on Schlossstrasse. This eerie scenario culminated when the man disappeared into an apartment building, where he was eventually arrested with the help of a police dog - all while sustaining MILD injuries! What a dramatic escalation in a moment of complete unpredictability!

These two incidents shine a bright light on the pressing problems in dealing with people in mental health crises. The image of these mentally ill people is often distorted, as the reports from lvpebw.org show in a shocking way. According to experts, most people with mental illnesses are NOT violent, but are often victims themselves in acute crisis situations! And yet reports of violence continue to penetrate public perception - a dramatic misrepresentation!

The necessary DE-ESCALATION

But how can you break this tragic and dangerous cycle? Expert prodema-online.de offers a solution: The 12 basic rules of de-escalation must be observed now more than ever! In particular, safety and immobilization must be given top priority in order to avoid such aggressive outbursts and to better support people in crisis situations.

  • Frühzeitige Deeskalation ist entscheidend!
  • Sicherheit der Mitarbeitenden geht vor!
  • Friedliche Körpersprache bewahren – eine Regel, die Leben retten kann!

If we as a society do not recognize how we need to support people in mental health distress, we will continue to witness these frightening incidents. Demand a fundamental improvement in the way we deal with those experienced in psychiatry – the time to act is NOW!

The situation in Stuttgart is worrying, dangerous and at the same time a REMINDER for all of us. How many more incidents must happen before we finally realize that DE-ESCALATION is a much-needed tool? Let's work together to find solutions!
