Apologies in advance if I misjudged your intention with pointing it out but:
Bolded the operative word. Cops (a group of people that are more conservative, anti-immigrant, and straight up racist than the population in general in pretty much all countries on earth) are the ones both CREATING and REPORTING the stats.
The discrepancy in enforcement and reporting make it inevitable even BEFORE we get to the underlying factors that actually cause crime rather than the usual "criminals do crime because criminals are bad and criminals are bad because they do crime" circular reasoning.
Are you from Germany? Do you know every cop? You surely see the irony of judging an entire group of people?
You don't have to be from Germany or "know every cop" to know that cops trend more right wing and bigoted than people in general, including in Germany.
And you don't have to know every migrant to know they have less access to social and economic support systems. Meaning they are more likely to engage in acts of desperation. Don't get me wrong a large percentage of the american police are class traitors with zero education in law specifically chosen for lower IQ. But you should travel the world and look at it from reality and not the backwards telescope of the USA.
