After the events in Cologne some politicians demanded that police be allowed to use firearms against sex offenders. But the German Rifle Association President Katja Triebeal told Sputnik this unlikely will happen.
“I don’t think the events in Cologne justify the use of firearms. As a woman I believe that rape is terrible trauma to the victim, but most of the sexual assaults that happened that night were not about rape, women were groped. This is absolutely disgusting, but I still don’t imagine police using firearms in Cologne because many innocent people could be hit by stray or ricocheting bullets,” Katja Triebel emphasized.
