A police officer mistakenly shot at troops taking part in a large-scale Bundeswehr training exercise in the southern German city of Erding, injuring a soldier.
How do you do a training in public space without extensively informing the population beforehand?
Before, various German national, regional, and local media outlets reported extensively on this exercise. Commentators on BR complained that this seems like a routine exercise, questioning why it should be considered anything more than a local headline.
And such exercises require approval from other government authorities. It’s not saying, “Let’s just drive to the city and practice shooting.”
train with live bullets
How exactly does one train shooting at human targets (soldiers presenting the enemy or locals) with live ammunition?
Oh, I see. But apparently it was not communicated enough since even a police man took it as a danger.
Regarding live bullets, I was only joking. It was something done in training certain special troops in Italy during world war I. Many people died during training indeed.
