Swedish police with new strategy - drop investigating serious crimes

Investigators have been ordered to investigate traffic violations instead of other more serious crimes, as "Project Alcatraz" has been launched. Police now fear even more crime.

Swedish police are becoming less able to solve crimes, which is becoming an embarrassment for the national police chief, Dan Eliasson, who apparently now fears for his job.

There is growing internal criticism against the police management, which is believed to engage in a "pinnjakt" to keep Eliasson as the national police chief, writes DN.

The National Police in Stockholm, this week launched "Project Alcatraz," which goal is to increase the percentage of solved crimes. Critics, however, argue that the project is just a "pinnjakt" that encourages officers to focus on the simple crimes like drugs, fraud and driving offenses, in order to improve the statistics.

- The sole purpose is to deliver positive figures, so that the Chief of Police Dan Eliasson doesn't lose his job, says an experienced investigator to DN.

The investigator has been ordered that from now on to investigate traffic violations instead of more serious crime.

Sweden is demonstrating that age-old problem: there is one group - “them’ who do the ruling, and “us” who get ruled. The modern difference is that “us” theoretically choose “them”. Anyone who believes that is a fool, although there are one or two true believers who support “them” and are happy with what they do.

OMG, Europe is lost! How will we save ourselves?

The Swedish people have learned over the last year and a half that they cannot depend on their lazy and cowardly police to protect them.

Fortunately, the people of Sweden have other champions, ones not yet ready to surrender on their knees like the overpaid cops.

Well, now we know why everyone looked away when Hitler rose...

And the Swedes were more than happy to sell Hitler iron ore.
