Radical ideologies - Multitudes participate in quiet demonstration in support of Mannheim law enforcers.

Numerous individuals partook in a silent procession held in Berlin to honor the fallen police officers slain in a stabbing incident that occurred in Mannheim. The Police Union (GdP) and the German Police Union (DPolG) issued the invitation for this event, which was billed as a potent gesture of support for democracy. The police claim that 3,000 individuals attended the event, while the GdP speculates 8,000. No flags, flags, or banners were permitted. The "Blaulicht family," a group consisting of many uniformed police officers and policewomen, was quite conspicuous among the attendees. The city's governing mayor, Kai Wegner (CDU), Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD), and Police President Barbara Slowik were also present. The previous Friday, a 25-year-old Afghan assailed five members of the anti-Islam group Pax Europa and an officer from the police force at the market square in Mannheim with a knife. Tragically, the 29-year-old officer later succumbed to his injuries. In response, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier commemorated the police officer at a gathering in Mannheim. Steinmeier, alongside Baden-Württemberg's Minister President Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) and Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU), led the attendees in a moment of silence at 11:34 a.m. The murdered officer's parents and other relatives were also present at the service. The police force in Baden-Württemberg organized the commemoration.
