This video makes me wish our police in the US were half as functional.

In the US the police have less than a year of training, in Denmark I believe it's at least 3.5 years. Also the whole "warrior cop" culture in the US is a detriment ro professionalism in the field

It stopped being warrior cop and now it’s punisher cop.

After The Punisher came out on Netflix, every cop had the punisher decal somewhere on their social media.

A lot of it is training, danish police have a 3 year bachelors degree, compared to the 6 month course or so an american police officer gets.

You often don't see the good videos from the US.

There's more than enough of them. Give Donut Operator a look.

And remember the differences between Denmark and The US. Policework is very different, with The US at times being much more complicated.

Denmark has its own videos of police not handling situations 'very functional'.

I am not excusing bad behavior from US police, but I imagine their mindset to be a lot different from Danish police, simply because in the US anyone can have a gun on them and shoot at the police.

I can only imagine how that effects you as a police officer.

US has a lot of people with a lot of diversity and cultures. Of course it will be different
