Sweden's leader turns to the military for help as gang violence escalates
Sweden’s prime minister has summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.
Instead of fixing the root causes of gang violence, Sweden is about to turn itself into a militarized surveillance state.
Wonderful.
47The protection cited in the article is for buildings. Alright? No one is becoming a militarized surveillance state over buildings being protected by the military.
This is a prime minister wanting to look strong in tough times, not a country becoming a surveillance state.
29Far right populists at work.
Trading freedom for security already.
18Ah yes, it's far right populists that caused this and not the gangs who killed two people in shootings and another in an explosion in Stockholm just two days ago... lmao
And yeah, these are unintegrated migrants imported from 2015 onwards, who failed to integrate and now run massively violent, warring gangs that are currently responsible for an unprecedented amount of violent deaths in Sweden's largest cities. Putting our heads in the sand regarding real issues for fear of being racist is what got us here in the first place.
Look at the data, and act, just as Sweden's LEFT-WING government is CURRENTLY doing because the situation has now become untenable.

Wow, far-right propaganda sites are going to have a field day with this one.
14Sweden’s “leader”… so their president? The title makes it sound like it’s North Korea
7Sweden is a monarchy, they have a king, not a president. But in this case it seems to be the prime minister

This is the best summary I could come up with:
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden’s prime minister on Thursday said that he’s summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.
Getting the military involved in crime-fighting would be a highly unusual step for Sweden, underscoring the severity of the gang violence that has claimed a dozen lives across the country this month, including teenagers and innocent bystanders.
It wasn’t immediately clear in what capacity the military would get involved, but previous proposals have focused on soldiers taking over protection duties from police to free up more resources for crime-fighting.
Three people were killed overnight in separate attacks with suspected links to criminal gangs, which often recruit teenagers in socially disadvantaged immigrant neighborhoods to carry out hits.
Sweden long stood out in Europe along with Germany for having liberal immigration policies and welcoming hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers from the Middle East and Africa.
Kristersson said that he met with New York Mayor Eric Adams last week to learn from the city’s efforts to fight crime, including surveillance methods and weapon detection systems.
The original article contains 538 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
4Well, they later said that it wasn't legal for the military to help, but I don't remeber exaktly why
2Due to this incident the military was heavily limited in how they could help the police
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ådalen_shootings
Later the laws changed again to allow the police to get some help from the military but only in very specific cases where the police were the one in control of the military (the police could order the military what to do, and not the opposite).
I think they can help with transports and such but I don't why that is needed.
If I remember correctly the government is trying to change the laws regarding this.

Knowing someone who lived only a few hundred meters away from the recent bomb, I'm starting to think that it might be the right choice. It's getting too close for comfort.
2this is what communist immigration policies get you
-65What the fuck are you talking about? The communist nations of the world have notoriously tight immigration and emigration policies.
Loose immigration policy seems to mostly be a Western construct.
40the eu is crypto communist
their agenda has been for many years to destroy european (white) society by flooding europe with non white, esp moslem from the south-67
Lol what a perfectly smoothbrained response
10if you try reading Anders Breivik's manifesto you might change your mind
but I suspect you are already committed to the ideology of Frankfort School of cultural marxism

The immigration isn't the problem. The problem is this awful solution from the current government.
5Saying that immigration is not part of the problem is laughable at this point. I'm also lefitist but jesus you can't let that many in without at least trying to integrate them.
Also I can't belive I'm defending the current government but they are not at fault for what's going on. These issues have been a thing for years. One of the main reason for this is that discussing immigration policies have been mostly taboo. I'm very happy for living in Norway. We've been having these discussions for years and we have been open to strict immigration policies. You just can't let whoever into your country.
12and maybe you want to look at France and its "no-go zones" filled and controlled by (MOSLEM) immigrants
or how about England, Denmark, Germany...same story
European nations get middle eastern oil and cheap labor for their companies
and this is the price

Nice whataboutism.
