– Somehow this is a small redress for the police. As I said, many police officers received both mental and physical injuries during these riots. It is very important that those who have committed these crimes get caught and prosecuted for them, says Niklas Borg (M), chairman of the municipal board.

– If it turns out that those who have committed crimes receive tangible prison sentences, which I really hope, then I think it will have a clear deterrent effect, he says.
