We have had five nights with riots in many suburbs around Stockholm. At least 100 cars have been torched. Schools have burned down. Police have been attacked. Rescue service personnel have been stopped from doing their job. It started when police shot and killed a man who was attacking people with a machete in Husby, North of Stockholm. Last night it spread to Haninge when a convenient store was destroyed in a fire in Jordbro. Residents are now out night patrolling to try and stop the violence in most of these suburbs. The photo in my post have nothing to do with this but when I spotted the Highway Patrol car outside my favorite cafe yesterday I stopped the driver and took a few photos. I think he has rebuilt the Corvette to look like an American police car himself.

The police clearly have way too much money over your way
In Sweden? Hard for us over here to believe. It would be inconceivable in and around St. Louis.
The paint job and door design has a strong resemblance to California Highway Patrol cars.
I'm so sorry to hear of this. I don't understand this kind of reaction.
I hope things settle down soon.
That paint job will certainly turn heads but I think I would rather have a red one.
Great car, evocative paint job! By the way, in times like these, what the police was supposed to do with a man with a machete?
I've read about the problems over there. I hope it calms down soon.
Much calmer now, although a group of people were throwing stones at police officers last night in Jordbro.
Oh, and Mo, it's not an official police car. Just a guy who wanted to have his own version of an American police car.
I agree with VP, if I saw a man attacking people with a machete I'd probably shoot him too! I really don't equate Sweden with violence like this Steffe, surely it doesn't happen often?
We do see a lot of violence, but not too many riots.
I have read that there are riots in Stockholm, but I didn't know what set them off.
This is a pretty cool paint job for the Corvette.
