Weirdly enough, the police is well educated over here. So they can’t even claim ignorance.
I hope not being a nazi or a pedo doesn’t require an education for people. That’s just obvious shit to me
Pedophilia is a mental condition, much like homosexuality. They don’t choose to be one, they know it’s wrong. I bet there are plenty of closeted pedos (i.e. don’t act on their urges and trying to lead normal lives). The only difference is that homosexuality occurs between consenting adults, and doesn’t hurt anyone except for the sensibilities of some righteous pious {profanity}, while pedos hurt innocent children, which is fucked up.
tl;dr some pedos are (very) bad for acting on their sexual preferences, they aren’t bad for having them. Taking this conclusion a bit further - making child porn is obviously abhorrent and one of the most heinous crimes I can imagine along with rape and murder, but watching these movies once they are made without profiting the perpetrators, isn’t so morally depraved. Especially if it keeps the urge to rape a child at bay.
Modern psychology says they shouldn’t be consuming those videos, it mentally normalizes to t. They need total abstinence, possibly removal from any source of any temptation, and if need be chemical or physical suppression of their desires.
Additionally homosexuality is a normal variant on human attraction, the full equal to heterosexuality not just culturally but in the eyes of psychology. Pedophilia is now understood to be a deviation in psychosexual development.
Additionally spreading csam in right wing extremist communities isn’t necessarily an expression of desire but at times is done to trauma bond members
And finally the feelings of the victims must be considered. It cannot be safely or reasonably assumed that any significant portion of people would be comfortable with people passing around and masturbating to their childhood sexual exploitation.
There is no safe or healthy outlet for those desires.
The difference to the US is that these 3 guys got found out, and will most likely go to jail.
Ok, you know different cops “over here”. In Hannover they’re mostly on the simple side, more spoons in the knife drawer, candles in a lamp shop. No boookz, more harassing homeless folks or kicking teenagers. Educa-what? All in all - despicable group of people. That’s not an opinion, that’s an observation over decades btw. So - it fits and doesn’t surprise at all.
