Racist and anti-Semitic police chats, abuse of power in office, racial profiling, widespread right-wing extremist networks, lethal police violence - according to interior ministries and security authorities, these are all just isolated cases. But based on representative studies, years of investigative research and personal experiences, Mohamed Amjahid reveals how deeply rooted the police problem is in Germany's security architecture. From the systematic cover-up of abuse of power to NSU 2.0: this book shakes the basic trust in the police as an institution and calls for an honest debate about the police problem.
Mohamed Amjahid, born in Frankfurt am Main in 1988, is an investigative journalist and writes for several media such as Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, taz, Süddeutsche Zeitung and ARD. Amjahid has been honoured with the Alexander Rhomberg Prize and the Nannen Prize, among others. He is a fellow at the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles and the Casa die Goethe in Rome.
