Last time one of my nabours - who is little unstable when he is getting something he should not do - got mad and was threatening everyone with death and destruction - police was for the first responding to his outburst - and was there in force - I suspect it was 3 cars with police - and a ambulance at is was clear that my nabour was not sane from the "self-medication" - after he was put on a stretcher - and put in the ambulance for the trip to the hospital - the police was knocking on everyones door to be sure we all was safe - and not harmed - I was not I was busy on my computer at the time - and was rather obvious for the action outside - and the police was even apologize for the fact they had to bother me as I was home.. NO Swat style equipment - just police officers doing their job .. And they even asked for the number to the janitor - as he had destroyed a few vindows - who needed replasement - who I gave them of course
And in Norway police still do not have weapon as part of the uniform - something that make it more easy to talk to them I would say - and also make the field more level - as police can not hide behind a weapon all the time...
But then again - in Norway Police have to go true a 3 year university level education to even be a member of the police - where they learn how to properly treat a scene - without using more violence than absolutely needed at all times....
