> state puts refugees in the same areas (Rinkeby, Vivalla, Tensta, etc ...). No it doesn't. Refugees are placed in municipalities all over Sweden but most choose to move to the big…

I'm not trolling. Violent crime necessitates armed law enforcement. While the rise in violent crime isn't caused by unarmed police officers the fact that they are unarmed didn't pr…
