After a shooting at an S-Bahn station near Munich left a policewoman in critical condition, a Pirate Party politician's offensive tweet has caused shock and outcry. The deputy chair of the Pirate Party, Carsten Sawosch (using the Twitter name Jan Eisklar), also denouncing the tweet. “I will make every effort to ensure that the Pirate Party will have one less member as soon as possible,” he wrote. “To us it is totally abhorrent that someone would openly endorse the violence today in Munich,” the party wrote. “Police have an extremely important function in society, and as this case again tragically shows, this role is not without danger,” the party wrote.
