German police want the U.S. military here to extend off-post patrols to the nearby town of Weiden in an effort to cut down on fighting between soldiers and Russian immigrants. The 2nd Cavalry (Stryker) Regiment started uniformed courtesy patrols in Vilseck in November last year after a series of alleged off-post assaults including a brawl in Amberg involving U.S. soldiers armed with retractable clubs that put three Germans in a hospital. Weiden police chief Klaus Sennert said Tuesday that he’d like to see uniformed U.S. patrols in his town to cut violence involving soldiers. He said it’s common for German police to send as many as seven cars and 14 officers to deal with fighting between Americans and Russians outside the Super Sonic nightclub in Weiden on Friday and Saturday nights. German police have responded to 50 fights at Super Sonic in the past six months with about 20 of the fights involving Americans, Sennert estimated. “It is soldiers against soldiers and soldiers against Russians,” he said, adding that Super Sonic is popular with both U.S. personnel and Russian immigrants. The nightclub, which stays open to between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., offers a “10 drinks for 10 euros” special on weekends, he said. So far the owner of the nightclub has not been helpful and the police are looking at whether they can legally force the club to close, he said. Sennert said U.S. soldiers who are approached by police in Weiden are often abusive, but usually aren’t arrested.

Stationed over in Japan, We used to constantly do off base patroles outside the gates by all the clubs and such....In fact we responded to all fights that involved any American personel out in town.
