here they would have beaten the shit out of him, put him in the car, beaten the shit out of him while driving to the police station, then have him in solitary confinement for 13 days while torturing him and finally said he did it to himself to claim torture. had he died because of all that, the cops would have been pardoned by the government if found guilty and wouldn't go to prison.

In the US, the cops would have called in over 12 guys for backup, slammed him face first into the ground, piled on him, tazer him, bloody his face, all the while screaming,"STOP RESISTING!" Then when the guy inevitably died, the cops would carry out their own internal investigation and rule the force used was appropriate.

I do suppose that the police in any country often is a reflection of the society in general. Norway is like the paradise on earth(with the highest living standards, close to no social problems and like no1 in international "happiness" studies). The US cops has to deal with gangbangers and methheads etc.
Here in Sweden the police is way harsher than in Norway and I suppose it has too do with things like sportshooliganism, political violence, segregation etc.

You forgot they also might scream 'STOP TRYING TO GRAB MY GUN' even when the person is face down and restrained.

Dude, that bum kicked one of your cops and all he did was laugh. Didnt throw a grenade, call out the dogs, taze him, bust some caps in him or even try to fight back. Hell the bum was even alive at the end.

Not a lot of viking blood left in Norway I guess.. Not that danish cops are that much better.
But on a serious note, our criminal system is entirely different than that of the U.S, which I think was examined a great deal in my prison systems thread.
The idea of letting criminals life in nice rooms, go home every 3rd weekend, have computers and TV, have jobs outside the prison etc. seemed extremely foreign to the american posters here.
Scandinavia and the U.S are very different in many aspects. To expect american cops to behave like scandinavian cops is perhaps a bit unfair. They're dealing with a totally different environment after all. Though to be clear some of the videos I've seen of american cops have been examples of inexcuseable brutality.
But I don't want to start shitting all over american cops before I know more about the subject. I think a frequent poster here in the WR is a cop actually (has like a cop-cat in his avatar), and he seems like a very decent person. I'm sure there's plenty of cops like him in the U.S as well.
Wauw.. That's a really bad analogy.

You are correct. Both the types of cops and criminals, are a reflection of the societies from which they came. There is certainly a cowboy type of attitude that seems to be a stereotype of American cops, and Americans in general, but there are many different attitudes and approaches to police work. But I think there is no question at all, that American police deal with a lot worse class of criminal.
And there are videos of American cops not beating the shit out of combative drunks, especially when a tv show is filming them. What I want to see is the cops from this video deal with some serious bad guys on a daily basis, and see how effective they are with their approach, and then if they remain that way.
Personally, I feel that if I have to raise my voice at someone, or put my hands on them, then I have failed on some level, but there are some people that will not respond or deescalate their behavior until that control has been established.

There's good and bad in every profession. Unfortunately, there are some bad cops out there but they are the minority. Most cops have families and are very human, they come off as douches because 90% of the people they deal with are shitheads. Tends to turn you into a cynical prick when most everyone is a liar. A good majority of the posters in here have never truly been on the bad end of a police encounter. at least not like they dramatize it to be. The cops in the video were pretty lax, but try being cute like that with some dude who is legit and has done time and you get your ass handed to you.
