The police management forbade the police to intervene against the violence

DOMESTIC. The scandalous images of how criminal immigrants humiliate the police in public have been cabled all over the world today. Now the effort is criticized from all sides and individual police officers write about how they were reluctantly forced by the management to back away and let the criminals take over the city.

Following the failed handling of Rasmus Paludan's burning of the Koran, the police management is now receiving criticism from researchers as well as the general public and individual police officers.

Norrköpings Tidningar has published a submitter of an intervention police who first took part in an understaffed operation in Skäggetorp in Linköping, where a stone-throwing crowd managed to overpower the police and drive them out of the area.

However, reinforcements arrived quickly from surrounding districts.

"After an hour or so, we are about a hundred police officers. Every single one of us is ready to enter Skäggetorp to regain the land that society has lost. But the management does not dare," writes the police, who are very frustrated by the decision.

"I want the citizens of Linköping and especially in Skäggetorp to know that every single police officer was ready to go back in. Every single police officer wanted to go back in. I want the management within the police to know that their decision was up the wrong walls."

Police researcher and police officer Stefan Holgersson tells DN that much of what Sweden has been good at when it comes to handling riots has now disappeared from the Swedish police as a result of the authority's well-known structural problems.

- It is insane that current developments are allowed and that politicians say that they have full confidence in the police management.

According to Holgersson, the shortcomings affect both the police's ability to make interventions and assessments related to situations where it is important for police officers to act physically.

Tomas Stjernfeldt, vice chairman of the police union The police union agrees that the efforts were a failure.

- Of course it is a failure when we have quite a few injured colleagues. These are issues of freedom of expression that we have not been able to maintain, we have areas in society where we have not been able to secure the public, says Tomas Stjernfeldt to Aftonbladet.

On Twitter, several police officers write their opinions about what happened. An area police with drug crimes as an expert area writes that the police need more violent tools to deal with riots, which do not involve lethal violence.

"I would have liked to have seen paintball rifles with pepper and paint so you can tag the worst and also be able to work remotely. Preferably with paint that can not be washed from the skin," the police wrote on Twitter.

According to the police, the use of firearms is prohibited to arrest someone for, for example, blue light sabotage or violent rioting.

"Those crimes are not included in the shooting announcement. PS. If the suspect is wearing half a kilo of amphetamine, however, there is legal support," the area police write and link to the legislation.

However, the police were forced to use firearms for self-defense purposes several times during the riots, something that is always allowed.

There has also been criticism from liberals and the media. For example, Bonnier's liberal evening newspaper Expressen states - as usual with liberals - that the police should have restricted their freedom of expression.

"Cowardly police chief's decision is behind violent riots" is the title of an article where editor-in-chief Fredrik Sjöshult writes:

"Cowardly police chiefs, however, should not have given permission for Paludan's meetings on the basis of the second chapter of the law."

But restricted freedom of expression in response to the troublemakers' actions, few police officers see as a reasonable solution, judging by the reactions on social media. Researcher Stefan Holgersson does not think so either.

- Even if you think that the person presenting your message is an idiot, you must stick to the principle, as long as it is not criminal. Otherwise, you end up on a sloping plane where the police or another actor must decide which opinions are the right ones, he tells DN.
