Sweden: Police chief accused of ‘racism’ for saying foreign criminals ‘do not belong in Sweden’

Nov 28, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 43 Comments

In open-door, far-Left Sweden, Gothenburg police chief Erik Nord was labelled “racist” after saying foreign criminals “do not belong in Sweden,” even though Gothenburg has seen a violent crime surge because “gangs of Syrian migrants along with Afghani and Somali migrants have repeatedly clashed over drug sales.”

Most police personnel in Sweden who work in or around Muslim migrant-dominated areas want to quit their jobs. In September, Sweden’s Prime Minister flatly rejected the deputy national police chief Mats Löfving’s claim that gang crime is related to mass migration, even though it is.

Over in France, police in a Muslim no-go zone have similar problems. One policeman in the no-go zone of Montpellier declared: “‘You only have to move somewhere else’ or go vigilante.”

It is absolute nonsense to accuse Gothenburg police chief Erik Nord of “racism” for declaring a fact — one that needs to be addressed by Swedish politicians.

“The police chief wrote that foreign thieves ‘do not belong in Sweden’ – accused of racism“, translated from “Polischef skrev att utländska tjuvar ‘inte hör hemma i Sverige’ – anklagas för rasism,” Nyheter Idag, November 21, 2020 (thanks to Breitbart): G

GOTHENBURG Erik Nord, head of the Greater Gothenburg police area, announced on Twitter that two foreign men have been arrested on suspicion of various thefts. That he described the men as “they do not belong in Sweden” has led many to react strongly and think that the police chief expressed himself in a racist manner.

It was on Friday that Erik Nord published the high-profile tweet, in which he urged victims of crime to contact the police.

The very wording that the men “do not belong in Sweden” has caused a number of Twitter users to react upset. Some interpret the police chief’s choice of words as an expression of racism.

“Do you never stop being a power-mad purebred kid? The man should shut up”, comments a user.

“It feels like that when the police start to evaluate who belongs in Sweden and who does not,” writes another.

“No wonder your cars get stoned,” writes a third.

Lorena Delgado Varas, Member of Parliament for the Left Party, also agrees with the lament. “How normalized is racism starting to become?” she asks.

However, many of those who comment on the police chief’s tweet show appreciation – partly because the suspected criminals got caught and partly because Nord “calls a spade a spade”, as one user put it.

At one point, Erik Nord gave answers to the comments. When a Fredrik Brokopp called Nord’s wording “unfortunate”, the police chief explained what he meant – that it was about foreign criminals who probably came to Sweden for the purpose of committing crimes.

        Me either, Juleonly.

        Sweden will only wake up after it experiences a criminal act like France recently did, with that poor schoolteacher.

        The bottom line:

        Islam has no place in Sweden and can never be a part of Swedish culture.

    Sweden should be a warning example to the US. If Biden will be president then the US will be in the same of not worse situation as Sweden.
    No Biden/Harris. The election was rigged

      Based on the yard signs in Saline county Illinois President Trump won in a big way. Biden carried Illinois based on democrat Chicago. I suggest we keep digging into fraudulent vote counting.

        Not just Illinois, there are indications that Trump won in all swing states. I advise every American here to support the ones who are out there every day fighting for president Trump. Just yesterday I watched the rally live in Phoenix, Arizona, where Nick Fuentes delivered one of the most inspiring speeches I ever heard. I made me feel like an American patriot even though I’m not American at all! Skip to 17:30 to hear it, it’s well worth it.

      @Maria. Sweden must be a warning sign for every western country. The Swedes are trapped by their own political leaders like rats in the multicultural political-correct trap, and now they are in deep shit. The trouble with people is: most of them posses very little knowledge in history. Every country that was taken by Islam has undergone very quickly a progress of regression and degeneration. This is why all 55 MUSLIM COUNTRIES belong to the Third World and contribute nothing to humanity. No science, no Noble prizes winners; except for pis! Once upon a time was Egypt a cradle of civilization and knowledge. Not only at the time of the Pharaohs, but also at the time Egypt was gnostic Christian. From the time Egypt was taken over by the Muslims, the Egyptians had slowly drawn in a primitive mud of illiteracy and mental poverty. The same had happened to the people of ancient Persia and other countries in the Middle East. Islam had brought them only bloodshed and degeneration.

        Very sad but true, and as someone familiar with Egyptian pre-Islamic history – actually yeah they WERE far better off with their pagan deities. Lord knows, anytime I hear the name Isis I am more inclined to think of the goddess of magic, one part of the latter Egyptian trinity of Osiris and Horus.

        Plus the mid to late 1970’s “The Shazam!/Isis Hour” on Saturday morning television.

      It really is shocking how much fraud played out in this election – and all of the dead people voting too WTH? Not to mention all the illegals/undocumented immigrants voting for Biden. Such votes should NOT be counted as genuine. Only legal American votes should be counted.

      BTW yes I absolutely agree with President Trump’s striking off undocumented immigrants from the census. Only legal Americans should be included in a census.

    Both Gothenburg police chief Erik Nord and Sweden’s national police chief Mats Löfving have identified mass migration as the reason for the crime increases in Sweden.

    The police chiefs surely do understand the source of the crime and would not lie about it.

    I admire them. It took guts for them to speak out in such an absurd political climate as that of berserk-socialist Sweden.

    Swedish cop thinks that allowing foreign criminals to reside in Sweden is a bad idea. That makes him a “racist”, apparently.

    Meanwhile, in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) ethnic Armenians (the indigenous people, Christians) are being put out of their homes and expelled from their ancient homeland by invading Azerbaijani (Turkish) soldiers (Mohammedans).

    World: “Meh”.

    Btw: I strongly recommend you watch independent journalist Patrick Lancaster’s YouTube videos on the Artsakh situation. He’s the real deal, unlike the usual “Fake News” suspects.

      You are right–sometimes comments can get hung up if a link is not recognized–then one of Jihad Watch’s moderators has to go through each pending post and approve it. This can take awhile sometimes. Other things that get hung up are linking to more than two stories in one post. I don’t know how many times this has happened to me.

    Here in Australia we have suburbs in a couple of big cities that the police will only go into in force, minimum 4 cars in daylight and 8 cars after dark.
    Government told us “there is no problem with the Sudanese community” and they weren’t lying, it is the Nigerian mudslimes causing all the crime.
    So it’s no surprise that this is happening in Sweden. Don’t you just love the bleeding heart left that allowed this to happen?

    In Sweden, as well as other Western countries, there is a *very* strong correlation between muslim migration and crime / terrorist attacks.

    The politicians that let them in do not want *anybody* to imply that this correlation implies *causation* even after muslims tell us why they commit crimes / terrorist attacks…

    No word of Truth goes unpunished these days.
    The terms “racist, racism, bigot,” are way overused and don’t really mean what they once meant. Now, they are the same as being opposed to becoming a victim of those in favor of outlaws taking over the world…moslim, blm, intifadas (including those claiming anti-facist’s beliefs), so that the **real** racists are hiding in plain sight. Now, racist and its other forms mean, “shut up if you know what’s good for you.”

    What do they call those who are saying “White people need to die,” as a solution or an answer to racism? They aren’t being called racists…and yet, they are the real deal.

    One would think from reading the comments against him, that Swedes want foreign criminals to be allowed in to their country. However, probably many, if not all, are moslim criminals objecting to the Truth.
