ANews reported:
Netizens on Sunday heavily criticized German police for killing Ertekin Ozkan, 49, at close range, saying in social media posts that the officers should have injured him rather than fatally shooting him.
On Saturday evening, police in the southern German city of Mannheim killed Ozkan after claiming that he was holding a knife and threatening officers to attack.
Following the fatal shooting, the German police method of “neutralization” was heavily criticized on social media.
Reacting to several videos posted on social media showing the shooting of Ozkan while he was 3-4 meters away from the police team, social media users stressed that police should have attempted to injure him rather than fatally shooting him.
The Turkish Consul General in Karlsruhe, Mahmut Niyazi Sezgin, paid a visit to Ozkan’s family to express his condolences.
He was also debriefed by the local police on the tragic incident.
