The Scandinavian country is facing an existential crisis with on average three police officers handing in their resignations a day.
If the alarming trend continues, and police officers continue to resign more than 1,000 officers will have quit the service by New Years.

But police have now admitted the force has reached breaching point as more than 50 areas in the country have now been placed on a “no-go zone” list.
In February a report from Sweden's National Criminal Investigation Service announced there were 52 areas where officers would not cope with the levels of crime being committed.
Sex assaults, drug dealing and children carrying weapons were just some of the incidents mentioned in the report.
The Police Association admitted it fears the public will lose faith in the force and their ability to protect citizens if the situation is not resolved. The union’s call for more resources echoes National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson’s February warning, where he said he needed a further 4,100 officers and specialist staff to reestablish law and order in Sweden.

Exaggerate claims to a ridiculous degree with a possible kernel of truth at the center. Usually using some form of logical fallacy. Likely a slippery slope fallacy.
For instance. The term "No-Go Zone" is political buzzword (sensationalism) for "ghetto". We have them here in the states and while troublesome don't tear your country apart.

I guess all is well then as long as a country is not literally torn apart....
You are such an eternal apologist.

Great. Now we are sensationalizing other countries' news too...
Ok. So what do you want me to do?
I, however, am not going to let anti-muslim forces use their policing inadequacies as a tool to further anti-muslim/anti-refugee sentiment though.
