Mmh, I see some mention of pepper spray. What most definitely carry are battons. Also can we talk about how god damn based Norway is, making Police a highly educated force with mandatory studies in ethics and sociology? That’s the way.

Under this model, success is achieved not through high numbers of arrests, but rather is preventative with an emphasis on defusing tensions and focussing on the frequently underlying causes of crime such as poverty, addiction, and mental illness.

Some countries really understood it. Only with these things combined (as well as proper pay, healthcare etc) a police can be trusted with the right and privilege to enforce law. Still without daily gun carrying.
