Tania Kambouri hatte genug. Wieder einer dieser Einsätze, bei denen ihr kein Respekt entgegengebracht, sondern sie stattdessen wüst beschimpft und beleidigt wurde. Der türkischstämmige Mann, der die Polizei um Hilfe gerufen hatte, war empört: Was wollte diese "Bullenschlampe" von ihm? Warum kam eine Frau - und kein Mann - zum Einsatzort? Vorkommnisse dieser Art erleben Polizisten im Einsatz immer öfter. Als Polizistin und Frau griechischer Abstammung ist Tania Kambouri den Angriffen auf der Straße besonders häufig ausgesetzt. Jetzt setzt sie sich zur Wehr: "Ich will den Finger in die Wunde legen, auch wenn mir bewusst ist, wie explosiv das Thema ist".
