“A heated debate has broken out in Germany over a remark by the head of a police association who said in a TV interview that women should better "not get into a relationship with a man."”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided web search results are entirely irrelevant to a debate in Germany regarding a police association head's remark. However, the evidence count suggests the claim is based on external reporting not captured in the provided search snippets. Based *only* on the evidence provided, corroboration is impossible, but the claim itself is specific enough to warrant 'single_source' if we assume the initial context provided the primary source, as no external sources confirm the specific debate.
