Monday Night: Police and Dozen Cars

monday night: And in most ways, what happened late Monday night was reminiscent of those earlier bouts of anger, according to Hamilton Spectator. Swedish police apparently made an arrest around 8 p.m. near the Rinkeby metro station. The neighbourhood, Rinkeby, has seen riots in 2010 and 2013, too. For reasons not yet undisclosed by the police, word of the arrest prompted a crowd of youths to gather. Police spokesperson Lars Bystrom confirmed to Sweden's Dagens Nyheter newspaper that an officer had fired shots with intention to hit a rioter, but did not strike his target. Over four hours, the crowd burned about half a dozen cars, vandalized several shopfronts, and threw rocks at police. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
