Sweden: Police in area populated by Muslim migrants need police protection to get to and from work

Aug 14, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Refugees welcome! They are not dangerous, they are in danger! Celebrate diversity!

“Swedish police in immigration suburb in need of police protection,” Brussels Times, August 8, 2020:

Staff working in a new police building in a suburb in Stockholm are afraid of assaults and will be escorted by police patrols on their way to and from their work.

The building is located in Rinkeby, a so-called “utanförskapsområde” or neighbourhood with social-economic problems in Sweden, where immigrants live isolated from the rest of the Swedish population. The building which will host 400 staff is due to be inaugurated in September.

“We’ll arrive there with a history of assaults against police and our vehicles,” said Frida Nordlöf, acting local police area chief in Rinkeby, in an interview in Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter on Thursday (6 August).

Though some types of crimes have decreased, the neighbourhood is still known for its severe gang criminality which has resulted in several killings in recent years. The situation is not much better in other similar areas in the other big cities in Sweden.

The influx of migrants to Sweden has resulted in a segregated society, with implications for the labour market, housing and education. 13 % of the Swedish population is born abroad, more than in any other EU member state. If also inhabitants with parents born abroad are included, the figure rises to about 25 %. Unemployment among male immigrants is around 15 %.

The failed integration policy has led to a political pushback in the form of the far-right anti-immigration party Sweden Democrats, which gained 17,5 % of the votes in the parliamentary elections in 2018. The party became almost the king maker in forming a new government but is still shunned by most of the other parties.

Recruitment to police training

To combat crimes and improve relations with those living in these areas, more police officers with the same background and talking the same language would probably help. However, attempts to increase the share of police officers with immigration background have so far been unsuccessful.

While the percentage of candidates with immigration background applying to police training correspond to the overall share of migrants in the population, the majority drops out before the training starts. It could be language problems but the recruitment agency has no explanation.

”I don’t have any figures of the background of our police officers,” Frida Nordlöf, the local police chief, told The Brussels Times. “We are aiming at diversity in the Swedish police force and our recruitment campaigns are focused on that.”…

    I say (again) that Europeans are running a con game. Obviously, Swedish police an crush those people. However, they want to project a (fake) image of tolerance (notice they weren’t tolerant with the Black rapper from the US who punched a Swede for accosting him)

      The person that ASAP Rocky punched was not an ethnical Swede, but an Afghan migrant. (An Afghan man of the kind which in Sweden are called “a child that has come to Sweden alone”, and therefore is granted special rights.)

      I agree, Oh sure If you want to see real Swedish tolerance; have a look at how they treat Canadian reporters in their own front yard.

    In the 70’s and 80s it was just as bad or worse in North Las Vegas.

    The article says, incredibly, “To combat crimes and improve relations with those living in these areas, more police officers with the same background and talking the same language would probably help.” In the case of Muslim migrants, that would probably backfire, with the police ignoring crimes by Muslims against disbelievers, enforcing sharia, and probably being bribed to support one Muslim gang over other gangs. European and Scandinavian press remain resolutely unwilling to see that Islam is not just a religion, but rather what Churchill called a retrograde force.

    The article says, “13 % of the Swedish population is born abroad, more than in any other EU member state. If also inhabitants with parents born abroad are included, the figure rises to about 25 %.” Those numbers are similar to the USA, but most immigrants to the USA come from compatible backgrounds, while Muslim immigrants to Sweden adhere to a totalitarian doctrine that commands them to conquer the Swedes and impose Islam upon them.

      Yes–can you imagine a beaten woman or a victimized Infidel having to face an armed Muslim supremacist showing up at the door? *Terrifying*.

    “We are aiming at diversity in the Swedish police force and our recruitment campaigns are focused on that.”

    And we wonder why Sweden is becoming a war zone…

      LB,

      I must be naïve.

      I thought that the “focus” of the police was to protect life and property through the enforcement of laws & regulations – and proactively patrol assigned areas…sarc/off

    And how many officers can feel safe in their own homes ?
    Good luck recruiting !!

    ” more police officers with the same background and talking the same language would probably help.” Note that “probably.” What we are dealing with here is presumably more liberal delusion based on wishful thinking and no evidence.

    Let the cops take their firearms home with them. Does Sweden have their version of the “castle law”.
    After the lessons from England where they have Mudslimes in their police, that’s working out just fine, for the Mudslimes, you would think that other countries would sit up on their hind legs and take notice.
    Multiculturalism, a wonderful way to feel like a second class citizen in your own country.

    Sweden was once a peaceful nation. You were safe walking in the streets. Swedes are hard-working, disciplined, intelligent people. Swedes are not the ones causing the trouble.

    Apparently, they are not intelligent enough to correct the problem they allowed to happen.

    It really is saddening to see a once-great country become a failed disaster.
