Theres a reason why the police NEEDS to describe the criminal. Removing that power from the police is only gonna allow criminals to get away. Think sweden THINK.
This is what progressiveness looks like in Europe. Migrants are LITERALLY incapable of doing ANY wrong.
[QUOTE=srobins;49559508]Can someone who understands Swedish history and culture explain what went wrong?

If you guys think Sweden would actually implement something so stupid then you've got critical thinking problems.
Whenever I mention that my country is getting worse to anyone in my family, they go apeshit on me.
Sweden should stop bending over for everyone & everything, and get their shit straightened out
im glad to see sweden is finally coming to terms on ending the racism around the world

[quote=Värmlands Folkblad][b]Crimes involving refugees are classified[/b] More and more crimes have occurred in Sweden in the wake of refugee flows last year. But how many crimes involving refugees have been classified by the police. There is more crime, there are new crimes and perpetrators. There are simply many more people, says Thomas Wallberg, commanding manage Alma, that the special event called the police. But how many have done is secret. In December, VF called to take part of all so-called event reports for the special criminal codes or related codes as they are called in the police, with the offenses that occur at the county's refugee accommodation as well as cases where the Lodgings are victims of crime. But, it is not possible to take part in these events or even find out how many there are. It is classified by the Police Authority. The lawyers refer to case reports belonging to the special event, called Alma, who started last autumn and that is about the refugee situation in the country.[/quote] [url]http://www.vf.se/nyheter/allman/brott-som-beror-flyktingar-hemligstamplas[/url] This is alarming. And before someone tries to say it is a right wing paper or something like that to try and nullify it, the paper has a social democratic political leaning - that is towards the current ruling party which is letting this uncontrolled mass immigration happen.

Fuck it, if you wanna avoid racist language so bad just use RGB values or something. Unless defining a colour by numbers is still too racist

I'm about to stop defining myself as Swedish, the entire internet is laughing at us and it's humiliating. [editline]19th January 2016[/editline] I wonder if Speisa even is a real news site though, I mean look at their fucking facebook page [url]https://www.facebook.com/Speisa[/url]
Seriously....
Does this apply everywhere in Sweden? Also, shouldn't this be all over news media since it's kind of a big deal? It sounds a little bit too weird to be true, even for Sweden. :v:

Well seems like even they, pro-social side, can't believe their own lies that "immigrants are cool, race mixing is cool, diversity is cool" and must fight with truth with any possibility they have.
fucking really saying that someones black isn't racist saying that black people are 'insert adjective here', is racist
All swedes; move to Norway

Race mixing? Holy shit??

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;49559714]We really need someone to give us the rundown on this since this is a tabloid.[/QUOTE] SvD is the 2nd or 3rd largest Swedish newspaper and it's about as well respected as any other mainstream newspaper. SvD is not tabloid journalism in the sense that they would run sensationalist headlines, report celebrity gossip and clickbait articles etc. Aftonbladet and Expressen are newspapers that do traditional tabloid journalism.
This is the horseshoe effect laid out as clearly as it will ever be
WTF, Sweden. Just [I]WHAT THE FUCK.[/I] [QUOTE=Zovox;49560187]I'm about to stop defining myself as Swedish, the entire internet is laughing at us and it's humiliating.[/QUOTE] So sorry about that bro. Feel free to swing by Latin America one day - where political correctness is basically non-existant and other people's feelings don't matter when describing someone. :v:
[QUOTE=Cone;49559674][URL="http://www.svd.se/internt-polisbrev-stoppar-signalement/om/overgreppen-under-we-are-sthlm"]this is their source's source if anyone wants to translate it directly[/URL][/QUOTE] Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can tell this only means that in the case of everyday crime such as theft or burglary, the police will not report things like the suspects etnicity (Among other things) to the public [b]via their website[/b](There are apparently different regulations for officers in the field). The guy they're interviewing says that there are multiple reasons why they've chosen to not do this. The main thing he points out is how things like theft and burglary are so common that it has no effect at all for incoming tips. So I guess they don't want to seem racist by releasing useless information just for the sake of it?
This is what happens when the world turns into a bunch of pussies offended by literally everything Nobody wants to walk on egg shells

Can't wait until they refuse to state which gender committed th- Oh. Oh wait. Because men commit more crimes they'll let that one slide.
Describing criminals using ethnicity and other signalements isn't banned at all. What's "banned" is to use such information inside these things, during smaller crimes such as burglary. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sjIZybC.png[/IMG] Small notes about crimes and accidents that has happened throughout the day, which is on their website. The guy that wrote the letter also states that, if information about ethnicity is actually useful during these smaller crimes, then they will use it and pass it to the public. The letter further states that they got other rules about how to use signalements inside the police force. And this only seems to affect the Stockholm police. Although the PR officer that wrote the letter/guidelines did state that the reason for a change was because the police had received criticism about using color/ethnicity to describe individuals. So in short, has Sweden banned the description of criminals in fear of racism? Nope.
