Apr 3, 2017 at 22:33 comment added Sklivvz @SalvadorDali bottom line, we don't allow (at all) answers of the form "here's my interpretation of the video in question". They are original research and will be deleted. Find evidence beyond the video in order to answer.

Apr 3, 2017 at 10:17 comment added Salvador Dali What 'they' are you talking about? There is only one attacker in the video. Anyway, yes I can't tell whether he is a refugee and I clearly stated this in the answer and in my comment. Can you stop using it in your reply? In my not a proper answer which is still an answer, I answered part of the question - whether the police officers on the video are female. If you do not agree with it or have reasonable doubts about it, you are free to downvote and tell why do you believe that my explanation is not enough for you. But I do not think deletion is justifiable.
Apr 3, 2017 at 8:33 comment added Oddthinking You are playing with semantics. p ∧ q → p. You cannot tell from looking at the video whether they are a refugee. What you can do is research, find out who the person was, and whether that person is a refugee. Your post was not a proper answer. It was also not an answer.
Apr 3, 2017 at 8:19 comment added Salvador Dali @Oddthinking The question asks whether this person is a refugee. No, read the question carefully. It asks Does the video show a refugee and three Swedish female police officers?. You can't just grab a part of it and ignore another part. Also, if you would look at my answer carefully I have told that you can't say if the person is a refugee. The intro to your answer explains it isn't an answer. One more time, read carefully what is written there and do not ignore the parts you didn't like. I wrote: This is not a proper answer, which is not the same as not an answer.
Apr 3, 2017 at 7:22 comment added Oddthinking Please see the Welcome to Skeptics! link for why your opinions on whether the video is fake are off-topic. The intro to your answer explains it isn't an answer, and I agree. Hence, I deleted it as a non-answer.
Apr 3, 2017 at 7:19 comment added Oddthinking The question asks whether this person is a refugee. The way to find that out is to look at their legal status, not their face. The parts of your answer that attempted to judge the race and legal status of the two men in the video by their skin colour is a red herring.
Apr 3, 2017 at 7:08 comment added Salvador Dali @oddthinking The question asks: does the video shows a refugee and three Swedish female police officers. I explained that based on the video alone it is not possible to tell if the attacker is a refugee, but with high certainty one can say that 3 police officers are female (showed the time when people can see this). You completely ignored it and told totally irrelevant reasons: You cannot tell whether someone is a refugee from their face (this is what I told in my answer). You cannot tell if the video is staged. The question has not asked it. So why have you removed my answer?
