Swedish police chief Dan Eliasson resigns

[Blobfish]

Dan Eliasson sounds like a real Muppet.. Glad for Sweden he is now gone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Eliasson

Danny Eliasson sparked controversy in Sweden and beyond by appearing to sympathize with a Somalian "teenage" asylum-seeker accused of having murdered social worker Alexandra Mezher in Mölndal, a suburban community near Gothenburg (Göteborg). Later, it emerged that the killer was not under 18 and possibly not even a teenager, but had lied about his age in order to receive favourable treatment when claiming asylum.

In June 2016 Eliasson led a campaign to hand out armband saying "don't grope" to curb groping and sexual assaults, like those at the 2014 and 2015 We Are Sthlm sexual assaults.[9] The armbands were criticised as being ineffectual and that they laid the responsibility for stopping the assaults on the victims instead of the perpetrators.

Dan Eliasson is also known for his history in the punk scene with his band Bad Boo Band.
The band's biggest hit was a 1979 7-inch single called "Knulla Bangkok" (Fuck Bangkok)

If you have friends in high places, or "your daddy is rich", you can get away with a lot of things in private companies as well.

I've been through half a dozen companies, small and big, in my life so far, and kissing ass helps your career better than any other skill.

Everytime someone asks this proceeds to ignore said citation because reasons.

That's how citations work. You provide some citation, people go and look into it, contextualize it, or simply review the sources, and what comes out on the other end usually refutes the wildly out of context ideologically driven half truths you are pushing.

In that case define the non existing populist political [philosophy]?

How am I supposed to define something that doesn't exist?

Knulla I Bangkok

Which means (roughly) fuck in bangkok

So armbands do not prevent rapes. Shit, back to the drawing board.

You clearly felt certain that whatever it was it was a quality the Swedish Democrats do not have. If it was nothing you would probably not have jumped to their defense saying they are not that. It must have a meaning or intended meaning that you see and think that the Swedish Democrats do not fit.

Your words were after all

I disagree with that statement.

Because it's not a populist party.

Rather than

"There is no such thing as a populist party" [edit: That should have been in quotation linking your post top of this page, first said when asked what it was they were not rather than when you defined your objection]

Now i will agree that the definition is almost vapor, everyone has their own. That does not necessarily mean the beast who cast the shadows that people describe does not exist but it does mean that when people say 'they are populist' or 'they are not populist' you have to ask what they mean

[Dezerte]

On populist discussion: Populist demagogue is a better word for it.

Because Sweden has a special place here on MMOC.

Yep. But not in a CEO-position. The owners will remove you pretty quickly if you make shit.

[Ryme]

Is he the guy responsible for the "don't grope" armbands to try and combat sexual assault rises? Because that shit was better than the onion.

[Deleted]

And this is significant because...?

<Insert something other than right wing xenophobic wet dream here>

Because he is a fucking retarded moron who shouldn't be allowed to manage a 7-11

Becaaaaaaaaaause?

Imagine for a moment I have absolutely no idea who this guy is, and don't read whatever the European version of Stormfront is.

Yeah is generally considered a fucking moron, by reputable newspapers, it's a not a fringe opinion.

Okay, can you provide any examples?

[zealo]

Good riddance.

Now, if only he could get shifted to a job that didn't involve running another government institution instead, that'd be nice.

Sure:
https://www.svd.se/om/dan-eliasson
None of them positive about him.
A specific excerpt:

Instead of flowers and congratulations, Dan Eliasson received a fierce stream of unhappy words after the government announced Wednesday that he would end his tenure as a national policeman, to become General Director of the Civil Protection and Preparedness Agency, MSB.

"Welcome to Eliasson leave the police. Unwelcome to take over MSB, which is also an important authority," commented the KD leader Ebba Busch Thor on Twitter.

"The permanent migrant caretaker with Dan Eliasson now comes with MSB having undermined the activities and trust of four important authorities," wrote M-top Gunnar Hökmark.

How about the Swedish representative at the antarctic ?

At first I cheered because we'll probably get someone with a hint of competence as the police chief now. Then I realized he's going to be responsible for MSB and we'll be fucked if russia invades because of him reorganizing the shelters in the midst of the invasion.

Don't worry about it. Even though you folks aren't in NATO, if Putin takes leave of his senses and does that, we will flash fry the Russian army. NATO ( by which I really mean the USA) guarantees the peace of civilized Europe. By which I mean everything west of Russia.

I spent 20min trying to find evidence of him actually being a moron. I found 2 instances where he did something that pissed some people off, along with some negative quotes from right wing politicians. I think all you have to do is browse the post history of the people in this thread to see whats going on.

Centre-right politicians*. He fucked the police up, the police wanted him gone, he's had low approval ratings for a long time. He was just in the position because of the social democrats putting him there, not because of his qualifications. He's not even worked in the police branch before and they put him there over more qualified people. Political as fuck, of course the centre-right politicians are going to dislike him when he's only there as a big fuck you to the centre-right instead of having qualified people in the position.
