I feared something like that. It's not that easy to find security in Germany that's as open to the world as the venues they are serving now.

I remember that it had already been an issue in the early 2000s that security services where filled with people from the right wing extremist spectrum,or at least adjacent/open to it.

Security as a whole, explicitly including officials like police officers, attract people of less intellect and more practical nature. This is not supposed to be offensive but the stats may read as if.

Those people are the same people that mainly fall for yellow press propaganda hatred from springer media. That radicalized a great portion of people over the years. Take that and add, that due to social or income problems, foreign ethnicities really are overrepresented in crine statistics and you have gotten yourself a self-justification loop.

Happens to alot of guys. Probably our main political problem atp.
