Wild party results in 200 police officers being sent home from G20 duty

MORE than 200 police officers in Germany have been sent home after throwing a wild party that included a couple having sex in public, men urinating in the open, and an officer stripping and dancing with her gun.

The officers were on secondment from the Berlin police to help with security at next week’s G20 summit in Hamburg, which will bring Theresa May and Angela Merkel together with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

More than 20,000 officers are being drafted into the city, with reserves coming from as far away as Austria and the Netherlands. But the Berlin contingent have been sent home in disgrace.

A spokesman for the Berlin force defended the officers, saying they were “only human”. And one of those involved told Bild newspaper he did not see what all the fuss was about, because it was just a “normal night for Berlin”, which prides itself on being a party city. But the policeman’s ball staged in Hamburg appears to have been wild even by Berlin standards.

The police reportedly got bored with the lack of television at their makeshift accommodation in converted shipping containers, and decided to stage their own entertainment.

What ensued reportedly included officers watching as two of their number had sex on top of a security fence, a female officer performing an exotic dance in her bathrobe, using her gun as a prop, and several male officers urinating together in public.

“Good behaviour is important for police officers,” Thomas Neuendorf, a spokesman for the Berlin force, told German television. “We do not have all the details yet but there are pictures and we have asked for statements. There will be consequences.”
