Stabbings, shootings, grenade attacks...oh my! Yes...Sweden is a violent place now....
Hundreds Of Extra Police Sent To Swedish City Struck By Wave Of Migrant Violence
On a visit to the city on Thursday, Swedenâs police chief Dan Eliasson said hundreds of extra officers would be sent there after months of shootings, stabbing and explosions. Exacerbating matters, up to two thirds of the cityâs police are reported to be on holiday, with concerns the public is being put at risk.
***********
Eliasson said the southern city was in âtroubled times now, so I want to see an increased presence and visibility.â He denied the grenade attacks were terror related: âother stuff is behind [the attacks],â he said. âThere are very sprawling motives â it is about drugs, in some cases, or for revenge for historical injustice,â he told local newspaper Sydsvenskan.
************************************
Only hours after the announcement was made, police were scrambled to a number of car fires in the city. A gang of men was spotted breaking into vehicles and setting them ablaze in one area, followed shortly after by two more cars catching fire in a different district,The Local reports.
Swedenâs recent response to the violence has been to stop knifes being sold near where stabbings have occurred and increase security for asylum seekers. They, rather than the âordinary shoppersâ who are under attack, were prioritised because âdark forces in societyâ could react to the wave of migrant violence â as one police spokesman put it.
