    They were supposed to let an unhinged person take a potential bomb across an international border?

    They followed the playbook the US would follow right now, once the potential bomb is isolated from collateral damage, explod itor remove the threat…

      Not sure if troll or idiot.

      They shot an unarmed man in the back to make an example out of him to others who would try to escape.

        Maybe read the article before spouting off your ignorance.

        Prosecutors say that on 29 March 1974 the 38-year-old victim entered the Polish embassy in East Berlin carrying a fake bomb and demanded that officials let him cross the border into West Germany.

        They didn’t know he wasn’t armed.

        So let me get this straight… someone shows up at the border of your country with what they claim is a bomb, demanding to be let in. According to you, border guards should just let that person in and let them do whatever they want? Stupid ass.

          No. Categorically so. He demanded to be let out. The GDR could’ve just let him walk, making him a West German problem.

        I’m neither a troll or a idiot, at least in my estimation. Your method of insulting the people you speak with doesn’t help you convey your argument.

                Not following orders minimizing risk to loss of life.

                Dude with a bomb wants to walk to your house and the police don’t let him, they take the threat seriously. Thats not following orders that’s doing the job, protecting society
