Someone told police the group hiking through Saxony in eastern Germany were “foreigners”.

    It was this shit.

    Police checking your papers for a couple minutes and leaving?

    Having checked the hiking group’s documents which proved the whole group was in Germany legally, police said they ended the operation.

      No. The resolution of this specific circumstance in this specific location is not what I mean by this shit.

      By this shit I mean the general danger of being the wrong color in nature.

      In Europe, there’s nearly zero chance of running into serious, life-threatening, interpersonal trouble on a hike, no matter your color. That is less certain in parts of the United States.

      If only all police were honorable and law-abiding and the laws were written to benefit the ordinary person. That would be an amazing world, wouldn’t it? Ah well, it’s important to have dreams.
