Racist and anti-Semitic police chats, abuse of power in office, racial profiling, widespread right-wing extremist networks, fatal police violence - according to the interior ministries and security authorities, these are all isolated cases. But based on representative studies, many years of investigative research and personal experiences, Mohamed Amjahid reveals how deeply the police problem is rooted in Germany's security architecture.
From the systematic cover-up of abuse of power to NSU 2.0: This book shakes basic trust in the police institution and calls for an honest debate about the police problem.
