Riots erupted in a heavily immigrant Stockholm suburb Monday night, as masked looters set cars ablaze and threw rocks at cops, injuring one police officer, Swedish officials said.

TRUMP MAY HAVE BEEN UNCLEAR, BUT SWEDEN IS EXPERIENCING A MIGRANT CRIME WAVE

The violence in Rinkeby began around 8 p.m., when officers arrested a suspect at an underground station on drug charges, The Local reported. A group soon gathered, hurling rocks and other objects at officers and prompting one cop to fire his gun “in a situation that demanded he use his firearm,” police spokesman Lars Bystrom said.

Sweden doesn't have the LEO training to handle such precarious situations or the resources as they are understaffed.

What they need is more community outreach with these isolated communities and to build trust with Swedish LEO's and the immigrants.

Nothing to see here. Someone quick, mock Trump about his Sweden comment.

[sheggaro]

Sad to see things like that happen because of flawed immigration policies.

It's funny how nobody in Sweden seems to be aware this happened.

Ah yes, Fox "News", the entertainment site that Trump cited for his bullshit fake news claims. Any other sources of this?

Source shaming is an infracted offense, so I would remove your comment if I were you.

Normal stuff here nowdays, the cops also got attacked like always, shame they didnt shoot one of them in the leg or something to make a example though the cop would probably have lost the job if he did lol.

It is more likely that the involved hooligans are second generation Swedes from immigrant parents than first generation immigrants, just to be clear. These groups of young men have been causing trouble since way before the Refugee crisis and yes, the gangs involve white young men as well. It's about where they live more than about their ethnicity.

It would seem the "riots" have already been quelled. However, it is a fucking disgrace that our police allowed it to even happen in the first place. Reports say that the cops were just "sitting in their vehicles" and allowing the situation to escalate... Our government must allow MUCH harsher actions by the police. These young men should learn to fear the police if they intend to be criminals.

Maybe we could import some Russian cops?

Luckily it seems like no one got hurt.

Yeah it only happened 2 days after Trumps speech, clearly wierd that swedes didnt know about it when it hadn´t happen yet.

and that area was a trubble zone LOOOOONG before sweden took in immigrants.

[Thage]

Look at that. Fox "news" blowing something out of proportion and getting the histrionic fear machine running on all cylinders to fit their narrative of immigrants bad if they're the wrong shade of brown and follow a religion you don't like.

this, this and a little bit more of this

nobody i know from sweden seems to be aware of a rising refugee crisis.

there might be the odd 1 off issue, but most of the refugees just want to flee a worn torn country to live somewhere safe. it's the right wing snowflakes making it more difficult for them which incite outburts, which are then focused on and reported as "undocumented by the mainstream media" to cause more outrage within the right wing.

it's a big old right wing circle jerk at the expense of real people with real issues.

Debatable, innocents (among them a journalist) were assaulted, cars were destroyed, the hooligans looted a store etc etc. Nobody got killed though.

If you stick to the facts, you'll recognize that the US has much larger issues with crime than Sweden:

All this fingerpointing by Americans at Sweden is ridiculous. Try to get your own crime rates down to the low levels of Sweden before you try to fearmonger.

So, a nation that has high crime must first reduce crime before they can take actions they feel will reduce crime? What? WTF are you on about?

The point is not to insult Sweden. The point is, "Hey look, these guys do this thing we also do so, lets look at their example and be careful to try and do better." Get over yourself, Sweden.

The number that people need to realize however, is how many immigrants per capita Sweden has taken in. The figure would be over 7 million people, if the same ratio was applied to US population. It's pretty unlikely the US would ever accept that many, in that short amount of time. We already take a million immigrants in every year. So, if the argument is unfair, that is where the unfairness lives.

Yes and no. Of course Swedes are aware this happened and the government's bad handling of the refugee situation, it's been reported in all of our major newspapers and TV news reports. However, Swedes are not "aware" of all the hyperbolic situations described on the web simply because they're not true.

Oh my god some cars were set on fire. Did the Cubs win the World Series or something?
