Default Sweden Riots: 'Youths 'In Husby, Stockholm Suburb, Set Fires, Throw Rocks After Police Shooting

Quote:
Gangs of youth angered by the police shooting death of an elderly man in a mainly immigrant neighborhood hurled rocks at police and set cars and buildings on fire in a Stockholm suburb early Monday, forcing the evacuation of an apartment block.


"I understand that people react like this," said Rami Al-Khamisi from the organization Megafonen, which represents citizens in Stockholm's suburbs.

The organization said police had used excessive violence against the youths and also attacked passers-by with batons and dogs.
