Default Swedish police brutality

Wow, three days of riots in response to Swedish racism culminating in a police shooting of an innocent immigrant.

The shooting can not be held responsible because they burn cars and disturb the regular order, and besides, it was not racism behind this, which is now.

An investigation is under way into the shooting of a man, 69, last Monday after police were called out to a home in Husby where the man was allegedly brandishing a machete.
Police say they tried unsuccessfully to negotiate with the man after learning a woman was inside the flat along with him. They then stormed the flat.
Drastic, could have been handled better but justifiable I say.
Never bring a sword to a gunfight one might say.

The "innocent immigrant" who threatened to kill policemen with a machete ?


Quote:
...More than 80% of Husby's 12,000 or so inhabitants are from an immigrant background, and most are from Turkey, the Middle East and Somalia ...
Maybe the key of the problem ...

Quote:
...On Sunday night, more than 100 cars were set alight, Swedish media report ...
How many cars were set alight, when there was ONLY Swedish people in this suburb ?

Yes, to restore the order, a little police "brutality" is necessary : Dura lex, sed lex !

Cheers.

Now it has not gone to the media has written about, the man was given probably armed, but that it then degenerated has no relation to the man who some revenge, this is a social problem with integration and refractions as a result.

Bin schon da!

He who will not hear must feel.

Swedes allowed them in and poked pencils in their own eyes to not see whom they let in. Things move on in the forseeable paths, therefore. Same in Britain, Netherlands. With Germany and France and other countries to follow.

In a hundred years, the majority religion in Europe will not be Christianity anymore.

Multiculti and melting pots work when combining some, certain, matching cultures, history shows examples of some surprisingly well-working examples. But it does not work with just any combination. It's like cooking. You combine certain ingredients to make a meal, and you use certain herbs only to turn a good meal into a better meal. But if you throw just everything there is into the same pot, all you get is an emetic.

"Cultural enrichment", I like that.

We could take the high road and assume the media's usual stance, blame it on just a few rabble rousers and forget about it by tomorrow. Or the other option is we all hop on the bandwagon and support the these students risking their lives fighting against an oppressive police state and monarchy.

We must be careful though to ignore the obvious and hope it goes away real soon. Which is why I thought it would be politically correct to blame it on police brutality.

But you hate Christians too so it won't change your personal level of misery and victim complex
