I noticed that also in every city in the Central and West Europe; in comparison with America (specially central and North America) the cops here has a complete different patrolling doctrine that is not prepared for that kind of ostensive preventive/remediation repression.

During some events of the summer 2020/21 I was surprised that in some situation of confronts or ostensive patrolling they lack some basic things like tactical formation (and it’s variations), non lethal options only pepper spray for small units (no teasers, no batons, or precision options), lack of non-characterised units, and an unnecessary gear (guys carrying several keys in a big keychain) and loose gear (pants that are not fit for running, heavy boots with inappropriate shoelace).

And on top of that a concerning lack of situational awareness.

Of course we do not have the issues from America policing (truculence, lack of de-escalating skills, less intelligence backed and more confrontational) but I think it’s time to change if they want have any success against those gangs.

Sweden went from almost entirely ethnic Swedish, with high levels of social cohesion and trust (easier to achieve in a monoethnic country), to one quarter of the population now being of a non-Swedish ethnicity, in a span of 50 years. It is now one of the most crime-ridden countries in Europe[0], with some having described it as the "grenade attack capital" of Europe.

I don't know why some keep on insisting that importing large numbers of people from vastly different cultural, political, and economic backgrounds, with neither a real plan on the government's part to integrate them nor a factual evidence of the immigrants being able to integrate well, is a good idea. Even worse are the blind accusations of racism when someone questions such policies.

I'm an immigrant myself (though not to Sweden), and I don't have anything against immigration; only the idea that people have an unrestricted right to be anywhere they please and behave in any way they please. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." An idea so old it's literally from the Roman Empire.

Nobody wins in the scenario of Sweden: not the native Swedes, not the immigrants who want to integrate into Swedish society, who now face additional burdens of discrimination.

Because the perpetrators are often children/teenagers, in many places actually not. It's the underage factor making many of these cases challenging to prosecute.

This needs to be worked on much earlier by improving social programs and integration. It's a multi-decade job. Barring government led death squads (which I'm not proposing here, mind you), deterrence does not work.

Interviews with some of these young criminals (borderline child soldiers at this point) show that they do not expect to live past 20-25, so they really don't care.
