The characteristic of any modern state is that it claims to have the exclusive right to use or to legitimate physical violence. In the most states the police is the executive body, which has the legitimation by the state to use physical violence against the citizens on the territory of this state. States select the main duties of the police, these duties are to enforce the law and to ensure public and social order through the legitimized use of violence. But in the meantime, while the police are inherently non-democratic, it appears that the number of cases where police itself becomes a danger for the public and social order increases. This project shall give the victims of police violence names and so remember them. It shall also be a chronicle for all those outrageous “isolated cases” to show to what such an exclusive power to use physical violence leads to.
