So this poor Gambian man was nearly thrown off a bridge in a racist attack and the police hush it up because it doesn't play towards some ideological narrative of racist nativism? Are the police so uniformly biased in Sweden or something? Truly bizarre.
You misunderstood. I remember this story well, here is the chain of events.
1. Gambian man was attacked by a bunch of racists for racist reasons
b. the local press goes nuts because they finally have a "locals hurt innocent immigrant" story
III. it comes out that the "locals" weren't all that local
Four. the local press ignores the story because it no longer fits the narrative they wanted to push
Hiding facts, even for noble reasons, is
almost always a bad idea.
