Office employees allegedly targeted by law enforcement prejudice in local precinct.
Tuesday Afternoon, Bürgeramt Blaschkoallee in Neukölln: A local resident drops by for a personal matter and spots a Hertha sticker emblazoned with the phrase "A.C.A.B." on an employee's desk – a hated acronym known for its ties to the anti-authoritarian, occasionally volatile fringes of left-wing activism. In Germany, this abbreviation often stirs up trouble, particularly when displayed in public domains or in front of authorities.
Naturally, onlookers ponder, "What the hell is this doing at a Berlin Bürgeramt?" Officially, a district representative informed B.Z. that the employee who had filled in as a temporary worker that day was simply a "floater" – their assigned station belonging to another person who happened to be off that day.
Sticker in the Bürgeramt Swiftly Removed
The district office couldn't pinpoint precisely how the sticker ended up on the worker's desk, but they did highlight that unlike the other neutral, Hertha BSC flag stickers dotting the desk mat, this one appeared embedded – not stuck on. It wasn't until the regular employee returned to duty and noticed the sticker that it was promptly removed.
Regardless of the employee's testimony claiming innocence in the sticker's placement, it's clear that such a sign has no business in a Berlin authority.
The district rep firmly stated, "The display of this letter combination – no matter its status as a criminal offense – is, of course, unacceptable in the Neukölln district office." In solidarity with the Berlin police force, they added, "Our collaborative work with the deployment units remains ardent, and we take a firm stance against any form of harassment."
The origins of this office snafu – whether intentional, a jest, or a callous provocation – remain a mystery.
