Video of Swedish cop riding toy horse was meant to spark giggles & build trust… in a crime plagued area, what could go wrong?

A clip of a police officer in Uppsala’s crime-troubled neighborhood fooling around at a playground was meant as a heartwarming exercise in relations building. But some Swedes think it sent the wrong signal to the bad guys.

The clip published on the police department’s Facebook page last Sunday shows a patroller named Martin performing a humorous equestrian jumping routine in Gottsunda, the area in his charge.

“If there is rain on Monday morning, maybe this video will cheer you up,” the description says, adding that building trust with local residents and workers is essential for successful policing.
