In Oldenburg, Germany, mass protests erupted following the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Lorenz A. by police. Initial accounts claimed he had threatened officers with a weapon, but subsequent evidence has raised doubts about this narrative. Approximately 10,000 demonstrators called for a thorough investigation into the shooting, particularly questioning the police's use of body cameras, which were not operational at the time. Autopsy results revealed that Lorenz was shot multiple times from behind, complicating the police's justification for the shooting. Experts are demanding transparency and accountability in the investigation.
The police officer's justification for opening fire on Lorenz A. has been called into question after evidence contradicted initial police reports about the incident.
Professor Rafael Behr criticized the situation, labeling the failure to activate body cameras a "scandal" and expressed hope for video evidence to clarify the shooting.
