Police say they are ‘sick’ of citizens’ NO-GO ZONE fears as terrified Germans beg for help, by Vincent Wood.

RESIDENTS of major German city Essen were left enraged after police and government officials ignored their no-go zone fears, saying they are “sick” of hearing about it. …

The City’s Lord Mayor Thomas Kufen also knocked down the claims of his constituents, saying “Altenessen is not a no-go area, the people here are just angry”.

Others told horror stories of drug related crime and brawls, claiming police refused to respond in time to offer assistance to law abiding citizens.

Locals were left with no option but to laugh as the police official continued to dispute the claims that their local area was unsafe – despite people claiming they had been forced to leave the district they had called home after feeling unsafe. …

It comes just days after police chiefs were been heavily criticised for sending officers into gang-ridden “no-go zones” after two officers were seriously injured in a petrol bomb attack. …

Isn’t this the very definition of a no-go zone?

In 2011 former Chief Police commissioner Bernhard Witthaut said: “Every police commissioner and interior minister will deny it. But of course we know where we can go with the police car and where, even initially, only with the personnel carrier. The reason is that our colleagues can no longer feel safe there in twos, and have to fear becoming the victim of a crime themselves. Even worse: in these areas, crimes no longer result in charges. They are left to themselves.”
