The government , under the liberal Prime Minister Carl Gustaf Ekman , replaced the County Governor and launched an investigation into the event . The investigation , with representatives from both employers and trade unions , later concluded that the military was highly unfit to uphold public order in similar situations . The use of the military against civilians was more strictly regulated , but the legislation was on the books until it was repealed by the 1969 Riksdag . However , there was broad political agreement not to use military force against civilians . The Ådalen shootings were still a concern in the discussions after the 9/11 events in the US , when military support to the police was considered . Therefore , the subsequent legislation that allowed the military to take part in anti-terrorism actions contained several safeguards . The military must be under command of the police , as they were in Ådalen in 1931 , and legislation specifically says that the military can not be used against demonstrations . There was still concern that these safeguards would not be enough
