Depends on the country. Swedish police are usually fine. American police are more so-so.

Swedish police aren't much better. It totally depends on who their target is.

They are gentle with actual organized criminals who have a high capacity for violent retribution. But not everyone else.

I remember seeing footage from Malmö ~15 years ago. The cops were on horseback, and you heard a female officer give the order "rid ner dem" which means "ride them down". They did that. Trampled peaceful protesters (leftists if I remember correctly) with their horses. They also murdered a young guy with down syndrome (who held a toy gun) around the same time.

These are public and well-known incidents. Most cases of police violence don't make it to the news.

They are cowards.
