Cologne police chief fired

following reports that authorities in Germany's fourth largest city may have covered up information that refugees had been connected to the assaults.

German city centers are usually filled with life and revelers on weekend and holiday nights. Because of that high degree of public safety, there is nothing extraordinary about women walking around alone or in small groups even after midnight in most towns and cities. That openness might have been grossly misunderstood by the new arrivals to Germany on New Year's Eve, when cities are especially alive with people ringing in the new year by shooting off their own private fireworks, Jaeger said.


Yes, it really is about refugees and culture clash.
