UPDATE on those Swedish cops who broke up NYC subway fight

http://gothamist.com/2015/04/24/more_hot_swedish_cops_4_me.php

-snip-

New Yorkers' hearts and loins were lit aflame yesterday when it was revealed that four Swedish policemen broke up a fight between two homeless men onboard a 6 train this week. Locals were impressed with the visiting cops' quick action, calm competence, and decidedly tantalizing features. But back in Sweden, every citizen doubles as a literal model for the Courtesy, Professionalism, and Respect catalogue, and the cops' compatriots seem rather unfazed. Good thing their pageviews don't pay my rent!

The reason why Swedish cops are so competant is that the force is made up of Swedes.

The only thing that would've made it better for me is if it had been four Swedish police women.
