Title: Norway’s police training puts America’s to shame
Agenda: put America to shame
Posted to youtube by someone in Norway
Is it accurate and fair? I don’t think so.
Training in the U.S.A. differs in 50 states, at least 15 non-states, over 3,144 counties, over 35,000 cities and towns, and no telling how many governmental bodies.
This comparison “Norway’s police” is to what? The video shows the DEA (who are not the police)
To me, this looks like another fine example of someone throwing a rock at the USA. by someone outside the USA,
about the internal affairs of USA.
Worth noting: “America” is two contents, not a nation. The “United States of America” is a country. Citizens of any country in either continent are from “the Americas” therefore, are “Americans”.
The video speaks about a problem.
But what is message? Solutions?
No, it is clearly designed to “put America to shame”.

I am guilty of parroting a post and sentiment of someone else. That said, I would still hope that proper and sufficient training is the rule, and not the exception. Unfortunately, what we see in the news, is usually the negative sides of police making controversial decisions.
Lars Fosdal I hope so too!
When I got pulled over for speeding a few years ago, I was so scared those &*^%&D were gonna shoot my ass, I held my hands out the window so they could clearly see them.
I’m will admit I an frightened.
I just didn’t not want to get glocked. It’s a bad way to end the weekend.
On the other hand, I saw that statistic that something like 1 in 13 gun killings in the USA where by the police…
I wondered how come that number was so damn low??? In some ways, police killings are not always a bad thing.
I mean, if you got some person going crazy with a gun, you might actually want that statistic to go a little higher. Perhaps a lot higher.
The cops you saw in that video, they get a lot more than the 13 weeks of training that was reported. They hit the streets every day, and they are scared as hell. Sure, there are a few bad apples, and there are plenty of accidents too.
But I see plenty of videos of the cops screaming at a drug crazed guys like a dozen times to “put the gun down”, and they are not shooting. BUT THEY SHOULD.
I really question why they don’t. They need to!
Most cops their lives on the line everyday, and they do it without ever firing their weapon.
I’m not pro cop, I’m not pro guns either.
But I hear that the real problem is not the gun deaths here in the USA. Go 200 feet south of our border, and take a look at what the drug cartels are doing… they are killing people by the thousands ever year, and often for little or no reason. School kids too. A lot.
It’s gruesome what’s is going on down there.
But ya don’t hear much about it.
And ya know what? Down there, only the bad guys have guns (they are illegal). Somehow, I am starting to wonder if that’s the problem.
In the 1970’s Archie Bunker once said, if you want to stop the hijackers, arm all the passengers. It’s the one that is untried, and it might be the only thing that will work.
The Matamoros drug war is the tip of iceberg, and it makes the USA look like a Disneyland paradise. There, they are warned “stay indoors”.
