Appeal Against Aquittal of German Police Officers Accused of Racism

Lawyers alleging police racism have filed appeals in Germany against the acquittal of two officers accused of letting a black man burn to death in a cell. The judge on the case has defended his ruling.

Letting a man burn to death because of his skin colour would be the most callous form of racism. However, not only is the evidence not conclusive that they actually did this, but there is no evidence at all that racism had anything to do with it.
