KSC is outraged by police violence: Referring to Derby Chaos announced!

In the Karlsruhe Zoo, the Eisbär-Jungtier Mika has enjoyed great popularity since it was born half a year ago. The visitors are enthusiastic about the cute animal and the zoo records an increase in the number of visitors due to the animal novelty. Mika creates a happy mood and many families take the opportunity to admire the little polar bears.

The joy of Mika is overshadowed by another event: the controversial police operation in the football derby between the KSC and 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Witnesses reported excessive hardness of the police, which is considered disproportionate. The Südwestderby, which was classified as a "high risk game", led to a massive police operation in which the Karlsruhe fan aid of the "Escalation" accused. According to ka-news.de , there were also numerous injuries who had to strive for medical help. The KSC has already announced a critical reappraisal of the incident.

The managing director of the KSC, Michael Becker, commented and made it clear that no actions by the fans had justified the police force. He reported that the KSC security officer had already pointed out defects in the admission control at around 12 noon, but were not considered problematic by the event managers and security services. However, the police saw the triggering of the escalation in the insufficientness of these controls and finally attacked batons and foot kicks. This procedure is heavily criticized by many sides, and the KSC asks for the provision of camera images to examine the events in more detail.

The incident is not isolated, but is involved in a series of complaints about police violence in football. According to SPIEGEL , these reports are increasing and the voices are increasing.

Away from football, Ralf Bauer from Baden-Baden is devoted to other challenges. He takes part in the RTL show "Die traitor" and shows his acting talent. The view of his new adventure could offer a welcome distraction from the sporting and social tensions for the audience.

In the meantime, the question remains open how the security authorities react to such “high -risk games” in the future and whether better measures are taken to ensure both the feeling of security of the fans and public order.
