Sideways is a gem of a podcast. Every episode has been fascinating so far

Yeah everyone knows and has the prime minister’s phone number in sweden

Well they did lock them in the safe with gunmen. That's what would make anyone hate the Police lol.

An awful way of Stockholm syndrome is when Department of Children and Family remove a child from a family and the employees of Department of Children and Family feel proud when those kids feel love for them ( the captive kidnappers of Department of Children and Family )

A shallow analysis. If the police admit they are affected by hostage taking, every criminal would take hostages . Every operation involving hostages is done with the threat that the hostages may be harmed. One way or another, hostages ARE human shields - that's what a hostage is for . The "victim-blaming" nonsense at the end of this weak analysis is part of a fantasy that police action/law enforcement should be risk-free. There will always be a risk, and it is in the interest of the outlaw to use that risk for some advantage, as this documentary exemplifies.

I don't think so! The criminals must convinced promised them a share!

If you say this is not real. Why the hell are there so many female fantasies of being forcefully taken by a powerful being like a dragon or vampire only to fall in love. Falling in love with your kidnapper.
