Today, it is estimated that three Swedish policemen quit each day, mostly citing low wages, excessive workload and job-related stress. According to Police Federation chairperson Lena Nitz, decisive action is needed to guarantee people's security, rebuild confidence in the top management and make the police profession attractive again.
"So far this year, almost three police officers per day have left the profession. At this rate, a fifth of the force will be gone by 2020. To stop the serious crisis, there must be a real investment in police and higher wages for the hard-pressed police corps," Nitz told Swedish trade newspaper Proffs.

Paige Taylor, 26, from St Petersburg, Florida was charged for allegedly shoving a cop in March. However, her case has been dropped by the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney's Office, Bay News 9 reports.
Around 9.30p.m. on March 25, Deputy Wayne Wagner pulled over a truck that Taylor was traveling in for having the wrong license plate attached. The driver, Gage Moore, 25, switched seats with passenger Taylor because he was driving on a suspended license. Moore was arrested at the scene and the vehicle impounded.

Pastor Allen Joyner made the remarks as he addressed the crowd at a Friday night football game at McKenzie High School in Butler County.
"If you don't want to stand for the national anthem, you can line up over there by the fence and let our military personnel take a few shots at you since they're taking shots for you," the announcer said at the game, according to Denise Crowley-Whitfield who posted what happened on Facebook, the Alabama-based publication AL.com reported.
His remarks led to "crazy cheering" from the stands, as the local fans seemed to endorse his statement. However, not everyone was as enthusiastic regarding Joyner's advice to those unwilling to stand during the national anthem.

9/11, what are its secrets?
9/11, what are its secrets?
This month witnesses the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Whilst many will rightly be mourning the loss of civilian life (though the West ought not to forget about Iraqi, Syrian, Donbass or Libyan civilians), many more will come to the realisation that the biggest long term casualty of 9/11 is the death of trust.
Governments have been lying to the public since the beginning of the notion "modern government", and far from being an exception, late-modern America is a prime example of this. Yet 9/11 was something of a watershed in the breakdown of trust between government and citizen not just in America but in much of Europe as well.
Comment: YOY or Year over year is a method of evaluating two or more measured events to compare the results at one time period with those of a comparable time period on an annualized basis.
The New York Times recently compiled data from around the country and found there were nearly 6,700 homicides reported in the 100 largest cities in 2015, a YoY increase of 950 or roughly 17%, with nearly half of the rise — 480 of the 950 — coming from seven cities. Their study is tied to a June 2016 report published by the National Institute of Justice in which Richard Rosenfeld, a criminology professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, declared that "the [2015] homicide increase in the nation's large cities was real and nearly unprecedented."

People hold Catalan separatist flags known as "Esteladas", during a gathering to mark the Catalonia day "Diada" in central Barcelona, Spain, September 11, 2016.
People hold Catalan separatist flags known as "Esteladas", during a gathering to mark the Catalonia day "Diada" in central Barcelona, Spain, September 11, 2016.
Demonstrators carried national flags with some of them wearing traditional Catalan clothes or T-shirts bearing pro-independence slogans. Rallies spanned Barcelona, Salt, Berga, Lleida and Tarragona, Catalan News Agency reported on Sunday. A mass rally for Catalonia's national day, "Diada," expected over 340,000 people , according to AFP.
This year's event differs from the previous ones by its "decentralized" character which means the demonstrations which were previously held only in Barcelona have now reached other cities as well.
"Each year we try to come up with something new... this year we wanted to show that Catalonia is a diverse country and we walked away from being focused on Barcelona. We want to show the world that we are diverse, but united. We are a lively country, on the move, and we are standing on the threshold of turning into a new state," Natalia Estevez, vice-president of Catalan National Assembly, told RIA Novosti.
US soccer star Megan Rapinoe knelt during the national anthem before her team’s September 4th game in a show of solidarity with San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Rapinoe told American Soccer Now that the gesture was a “little nod to Kaepernick and everything that he’s standing for right now. “I think it’s actually pretty disgusting the way he was treated and the way that a lot of the media has covered it and made it about something that it absolutely isn’t. We need to have a more thoughtful, two-sided conversation about racial issues in this country.”
It appears that Kaepernick has started a movement with his silent protest during the national anthem during a pre-season game on August 26. Kaepernick said his "taking a knee" was to protest racial oppression and police brutality in the United States.

Activists gather to protest the Urban Shield military weapon and SWAT training expo in California on Friday.
Hundreds of people gathered in California on Friday to protest Urban Shield, the annual expo showcasing police and military weapons and offering SWAT training in the Bay Area.
At least 23 people were arrested as protesters from a wide swath of civil and human rights organizations locked themselves to the entrance of the Alameda County Fairgrounds, where the convention is taking place from September 8-12.
Critics say the event promotes violence and police militarization, particularly in minority and low-income communities.
Comment: Good old-fashioned 'American values' include racism, genocide, and calling for the murder of those trying to exercise the slightest amount of their 'freedoms'.
