Anecdotal evidence from liberals. No spin zone indeed.

Its nothing like that. First, the rich/poor divide is smaller there. Second, people in Chicago know about the crime of their city. Martin is a sharp dude who actually lives in that city. Attempting to discredit the source, when you have none, is asinine

Right, and I'm saying he only thinks that because the media in his country which it sounds like he's a part of intentionally does not report the crimes committed by "immigrants".

Ah yes, your "source." Some guy who happens to live in Sweden who has provided his opinion. Rock solid source. The credibility is just oozing out of that one.

Cool story

I think the cops are pissed because speaking truthfully about the problems they face may get them in trouble. Wasn't there a cop who went through hell for daring to say that the immigrants were causing a lot of trouble?
Sweden has weird speech laws.

Story highlights
Trouble flared in Stockholm's Rinkeby neighborhood as police arrested a suspect
Calm was restored to the area by midnight, Swedish authorities say
US President Donald Trump earlier suggested immigrants in Sweden were to blame for an increase in crime
Stockholm, Sweden (CNN)Riots broke out in a predominantly immigrant neighborhood of Stockholm Monday night, as residents clashed with police officers and set vehicles on fire, Swedish police say.
Officers were forced to call in reinforcements when a crowd began to gather in the suburb of Rinkeby during the arrest of a suspect, according to a statement from Stockholm police.
Stockholm regional police chief Ulf Johansson said the clashes may have been a result of their "increased pressure on criminals in the area."
The clashes come days after US President Donald Trump suggested that immigrants in Sweden were to blame for an increase in crime across the country.

In recent years, Sweden has taken in more refugees per capita than any other European country, which has fueled tensions and caused a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment.
Warning shots fired by police
On Monday night in Rinkeby, several people threw stones at police, striking one officer in the arm. As the situation escalated, police fired warning shots to disperse the crowd and one shot at a rioter, a police spokesperson told CNN's Ivan Watson.
More riots erupted later in the evening, causing damage to shopfronts as well as instances of looting. A police spokesperson said 10 cars had been torched, but that order and security had been restored by midnight.
Police say 10 cars were set alight during riots in the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby.

A CNN team in the area on Tuesday saw evidence of the damage: The doors of Rinkeby's subway station had been smashed, and other broken windows were covered in temporary plastic sheeting, but the burned-out cars had already been cleared away.

The area is known for its large immigrant population, but also for high levels of unemployment, Watson said.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the unrest.
"Of course it is very serious that the police officers are attacked when doing their job," Johansson said.
He added: "But I can assure that we are resilient and will not leave, rather intensify our work."

I have read many accounts of Swedes on the internet whose experience and opinions do not match those of your friend. For the purposes of this discussion, they have essentially equal weight. I have absolutely no reason to believe his claims, just as you have no reason to believe that anonymous accounts have any credulity.

Cars are dangerous. They are a necessity for most of us outside the liberal bubble cities. Not the best example. But, if you are into risk mitigation then why import more risk?
I agree completely my friend....it is a bad idea to take these frickers in....because they need to be at home correcting their own shite....but we don't need to scare ourselves into doing it....the reality is just as bad as anything you can dream up....

An al-Qaida-linked group is busy recruiting anti-government fighters among Somali youths living in the Stockholm suburb Rinkeby, according to a recent AP report. Staff and wire reports The problems Sweden faces integrating large numbers of Muslim immigrants is a subject on which Nordstjernan columnist Ulf Nilson has written many times. His warnings of increasing radicalization among Sweden’s Muslims – warnings he started to broadcast a decade ago – now seem eerily prophetic in light of an Associated Press investigation that found Stockholm to be a breeding ground for jihadists among Swedish Somalis.
Nothing to see here.
