One question for the cop....would you let your wife or daughter walk there alone at night? No? Then it's a no go zone.

They label us racist when we oppose an authoritarian political machine (Islam).

They label us intolerant when we oppose intolerance?!

I will always oppose racism, inequality and stand for love. I therefore will always oppose Islam.

India had “no go” zones... Then it became Pakistan🤫

[chanbasswami]

In India 500 no go zones created by muslims.when we raised our voice peacefully people says Hindu naxi, hindu fundamentalist

"We can go here any time of the day, the evening or the night" says the police... what about civilians and in particular Swedish women? Can they go there without fear of being harmed?

This is such horses*it. I live in Botkyrka, I grew up in Botkyrka and in the last couple of years it has gotten waaaay worse. Sure it wasn't a great area when i grew up but at least we didn't have shootings, open druguse/distribution and car fires back then. And this guy is a police. Idk if authorities told him to say this or if he is blind, whatever it is they are not solving issues by covering them up. But that's Sweden in a nutshell I guess.

Swedish People take your Country back ! it’s to late...Make Sweden Great Again..!

He says as he wear a gun on his hip… meanwhile camera crews are getting attacked and having bricks thrown at them 😂

What kind of government letting its good people suffer? The government of Sweden should stop this madness.

A Libyan dictator once said that Europe will be conquered without using weapon.

The viking should be awaken

“We can go here any time of the day, evening or at night, and do our job” Yea but they throw rocks at you...

[oeautobody]

Here after French teacher lost his head over cartoons

[JL-usdp]

Why don't they go home? They don't fit in there

[jeremyjackson]

Did that cop even sound remotely believable? It was almost as if he was giving a scripted statement making sure to include all the talking points.

[IngVdo]

Pure Sweden, you should support your traditions and your childrens...

[santiagoporcino]

This video truly deserves the dislikes, but at least they let us comment. Finland does things better

Why is it that American and Canadian reporters living on another continent feel it's acceptable to place such expectations on Sweden and other Nordic countries? Why is it that my tax money should house, feed, and educate people from conflict areas and not theirs? Why is it that Sweden and Swedes should care more about the Syrian conflict and the Syrian people than neighboring countries such as Kuwait, Dubai and Saudi Arabia? America hasn't really contributed at all in the effort to help these refugees yet the liberals in the country can't help talking about the far-right in Sweden!

There are crimes where grenades have been used...it simply wasn’t happening 20 years ago...and these perpetrators are not native Swedes. Asking one police officer means absolutely nothing, except that it is lazy journalism.

[mikeylejan]

I think that culture plays a role with migration, if you have Japanese immigrants, I bet you wouldn't have that problem.

[maximumdigital-]

It’s INSANE people want this here.

And LOL at this guy saying it doesn’t exist.

There’s videos of people testing that theory out...they get assaulted.

[jcarbonell]

He used the word "vulnerable" to refer to these places. He is afraid to criticize those places, it should tell you everything about the person being interviewed.
