If you're lucky it's 3 months. In Hawaii, there is no mandatory training before the job. When U learned about this fact, the pilot of Hawaii 5-0 suddenly made sense. The governor appointed Steve Garrett as a police officer, just so.
here in Czech Republic 2 years for basic possitions and bachelor degree for some sergeant possition and all young officers ranks and MBA degree for higher officers.
@@twinmama42 Yes, but.... Garrett was a lieutenant commander a Navy SEAL, not exactly someone from the road as a "special policeman" he had the rank of sergeant *** and yes, a U.S. Marshals declares you a "deputy" on the road and you can help him make an arrest, and if he does the paperwork to make it clear in court, from then on you are a "federal agent" (in reserve)
The drunk is a Northern Norwegian, they're known for their colorful language. :P To the point that the cussword he used "Hæstkuk" (which translates to horse cock) was judged in court to just be an expression, as some guy got arrested for calling a police officer it, the word is seemingly used so much it was basically deemed part of their dialect rather than an insult. :P
That fits - looks like the guy had a very fun night out The police were exemplary - it seems they were dealing with somebody who might have been drinking to excess because of some severe mental problems. They knew this, and were perfect, even when he lashed out. [superb training, clearly]
Believe it or not, the word is not exclusively negative. It is also used among friends, presumably as a form of recognition of friendship - "To you I can say anything - we are friends". I'm from the north, btw.
Can't imagine, to handle this in another way, cause this guy is obviously aggressive but so drunk that the policemen are able to handle him without violence easily. That's what american police needs to learn the most, de-escalation, to don't make the situation worst just with their own actions. It's also a lot less stressfull for the police! 😉 Greetings from Berlin 😎
Wrong you mean mostly those in north/central europe so just think of eastern part of europe and you will notice this aint true but still funny video for sure
@@volk0796 Well in east things are more dangerous.. imagine how many weapons and illegal imigrants are being transported due to war in ukraine.. also balkans are chaper itself.. there you cant even have a girl from different village as she can have diff religion and there are stories of newly wed murdered for it even when it their child and even long marriages were destroyed by it. My dad was truck driver and after yugoslavia departed he was there and saw all.. most buildings with holes from guns/ artilery.. one city was between mountains and was regulary bombarded. He was also stopped at gunpoint by milita and was about 3 days blinded in basement. Not even UN could stop all the genocide and had to protect food/ aid and watch civilians murdered in front of them
@@jandys6328 As a Balkan-er, and a former Yugoslavian, i'd say you are right about the 90's which were turbulent years (should we go back to the 40's in Western Europe?), but now days, not much different "crime vise" than the rest of Europe. In fact, i would go to say that i feel safer any time of day or night in any Eastern European major cities then in Paris, London, Barcelona, parts of Rome or Naples. Of course there is crime and sketchy neighborhoods everywhere, but those exist in any town in every country. Parts of Malmö in Sweden resemble more of Somalia then a Scandinavian town.
Not in France... they're estranged with the "protect & serve" concept. Or rather they only apply the concept to themselves given the number of times they've been caught shamelessly lying to protect themselves or their colleagues after very bad arrests, lynching a person or outright killing one. Even when facing evidence proving they've lied... Or their very bad habit of using the sirens at shift change to return faster to the precinct, which is definitely not an emergency. It's particularly exhausting when you live on a boulevard near a precinct, like I did, and you hear sirens every few minutes 24/7/365... Firefighters, ambulances, civil rescue, etc. all use their sirens a LOT LESS ; at night they mostly emit only short bursts at half volume when it's really needed like at intersections. Or policemen refusing to take complaints when they don't feel like it... Or giving you an invalid complaint number, when there's even one... They are super confrontational, they often talk to the people they control by using the familiar form while at the same time demanding the formal when addressing them... When they feel like it or when they have a personal grudge they threaten to, or outright charge for "outrage" which is like contempt, even though the person simply objected to the way they were treated, without contempt nor insult. And when a cop does something very very very bad, the whole corporation stands behind them and cries that they are mistreated or that it is just anti-police rhetoric. Plus, one of the main police unions is clearly far right wing, racist, borderline fascist. They demand "presumption of effective self defense" for all beatings and shootings and that the burden of proof be reversed for them. They want all deaths or severe harm they cause to be automatically defined as plainly justified, plaintiffs would have to prove that it wasn't. In other words they want to be above the law and to have a license to kill. They also demand absolute respect, whatever their behavior is... They tend to refuse switching on their bodycam, refuse to wear a clear identifier and often cover it with other parts of their uniform. And cherry on the cake, they refuse to have a civil oversight : the equivalent of internal affairs or standards is done by other cops... Which is like patients guarding the looney bin... The French police is crass. International organizations like the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice, the UN and Amnesty International complained several times about the French police and for good reasons... English football fans had a taste of it not so long ago during an euro cup final (if I recall correctly but I don't know anything about football, I'd prefer watching pain dry rather than football).
@@dralvarhanso I mean no offense to you at all, I see its way different now, and what I also see in Norway or Sweden its insane, as a czech here its safe but also few ghettos of gypsies and I would never go there. But again its like their community and bad people are in every society. I also would feel more in danger in west as most easterners are kind, only sound angry to some, but watching americans commenting like all arabs are terrorists etc. It makes my blood boil as cities like Chicago has its own page of yearly murded etc..
its easy we drink alot at home before we go out to the bar or club so you get drunk before the club and then you only need 1-3 expensive drinks to get this drunk haha xD
As a Swedish firefighter, I'd say that MO is from the Scandinavian police handbook. Generally we try to act deescalating instead of that macho stuff. But of course with controlled but decisive action when needed.
Even more so when the police have firearms! In Norway the police normally do not carry guns, but in other Northern European countries, where they carry firearms (Sweden, Finland, Denmark, etc.) it is even more difficult to find a compromise with extremely violent criminals, because not every agent has a taser, and the use of pistols or rifles is only a last resort; you could be charged with attempted murder even if you are just defending yourself or trying to defend other people. Europe it's definitely different from US.
@@FSboy70: It's culture, not genetics. Do you think that Scandinavians don't know hostile and uncivilized populations? We decided to change for a reason. But it's all part of a system. You need to help those who need help. Most drug and mental issues are caused by financial problems and that is very easy to fix. We have chosen to end homelessness, for instance and give people a right to have a home. That helps enormously against crime. If you give people a right to live, including a home, livable income and healthcare, a lot of problems just disappear and the money saved pays for the benefits. But you have to start somewhere. Finance is the most important.
@@jeschinstad Ja dette var jo ikke fossilert ideologisk populisisk tåketale som vi har hørt reptert i over 40 år. Og det har fortsatt ikke blitt sant. Du får komme tilbake når du har noe nytt og fornuftig å bidra med. Og selvsagt stammer kultur fra folk, altså fra etniske grupper.
@@jeschinstad Yep. Once you get most the population a roof over their head, access to healthcare, food everyday etc, you lose most of the opportunistic problem causers (people doing crime for drugs, food, peace to sleep etc. Once you have that under control, such as with healthcare for drug users, you only have to worry about lifelong criminals who WANT TO, because people who have no other choice can suddenly be safe, eat everyday and not be forced into crime! I honestly, for all its issues, think NAV and access to healthcare, as well as short and long term housing for people in need, are one of the best things we have. It has saved my life more than once, as I would legitimately just be de*d if I lived in North or south America. Even though I'm in a bad place and I'm not getting the help I need, I am still better off anywhere in Scandinavia (Norway, Denmark, Sweden) than anywhere else in the world, as we have a bond, and we want *_EVERYONE_* that lives here to be successful, happy, healthy, unbothered and as good as possible. Not living under fear of parents, religion, v¡olence etc etc
American police officers risk their lives every day in huge cities with armed gang activity. Norway is a very long stretched country with only about 6 mill citizens spread over the land. So there`s a lot of small towns and almost no gang activity. The big cities are few and far between, being like small towns in the US. We have a social security with benefits like health care etc and to keep poverty low, any Norwegian citizen has a lower basic income from the state if not working. It`s about 700 USD a month, with rent and electricity paid for by the state over the tax bill. So even if you`re an addict out of work, you get an apartment and basic needs covered so there really isn`t a need to be a criminal here. It`s really not fair to compare cops in US and Norway. The US cops have a much tougher job and a lot more criminals to handle.
@@anofsti SO one police officer killed a guy back in 2006 and you judge every police officer in Norway for that? Are every american cop racist just because Floyd died from a self inflicted Fentanyl overdose?
@@anofsti I've literally had Politipatruljen and investigators in my house while having hash, growing equipment, bongs and pipes scattered about in my house without them confiscating anything, as they were investigating a kidnapping. They thanked me for letting them in, and I never heard from them again. I'm half african. The case you mention was disgusting, but saying that everyone gets treated like that is like saying you won't ever go to Belgium because Leopold used to be king. It's a mentally deficient way of thinking.
The 2nd sentence came out very wrong, although I think people get what you wanted to say. But I'd say safety is always on the 1st place. De-escalation is very important, still often missing.
I'm Norwegian and my impression is that there is a general respect for the police in this country. They are respectful, patient and chill. They are trained to solve problems by de-escalatin as much as possible, instead of using power, force and authority. They literally "protect and serve" and I think that goes for most police in European countries.
Bullshit. Vi lever I verdens siste politi stat og nnærmest kommunisme i verdenshistorien.. folk, som i verden, kommer til å få sjokk, når all oppvaska skal ut og frem med min generasjon.........
Funny thing that you miss if you don't understand the language, but "Is she heart-dead?" is actually a mistranslation, he actually asked if she was Brain dead! XD
I think there is two subtitled versions of this arrest, at least two that are being reacted to. This one is the most popular, but also with the, by far, worst translations.
hjerne (brain) and hjerte (heart). Surprisinglky, easy mistake to make, i guess... Just a one-letter difference, and when your mind is swimming in alcohol and rage, keeping your pronounciation on track is very difficult... I can barely even speak when i'm angry, lol.
As a swede its extra funny that the word for calm in norwegian is the same as fun/funny for us. So when the police tell him to calm down, all i hear is have fun. 8-)
These two guys are brilliant. They were a part of the tv-show called "Nattpatruljen" (Night Patrol) where 1 cameraman follows 1 patrol a whole night. These two officers were on TV a lot. Good guys.
In most european countries policemen have to absolve years and years of training and study before they can work as policemen, they also study psychology and how to behave with people.
Some years ago I saw a comparison between a Finnish and American officer. If I remember it right the Finnish officer has a four year education and the American less than a year. If the education is good people learn a lot. Then the salary has to be reasonable, otherwise it's difficult to attract suitable individuals.
Except in France, where it's now super short due to staffing shortages. It's also a far right nest, it's terrifying... To the point international civil rights institutions have expressed concerns about the French police. Not too long ago, a decent policeman was sacked for alerting the media after a lack of reaction of its hierarchy about systematic abuse, mostly racial and mistreatments by many of his colleagues in the "tombs" of a courthouse. The main police unions fight to obtain a "presumption of effective self defense" only for cops that would reverse the burden of proof when they harm or kill someone. A measure that can only be described as fascist. It really is terrifying... I've lost every single bit of trust in the French police...
The length of training alone doesnt tell you how effective it is. Policing in Europe and the US is completely different, you cant compare the two. The guy in this video was being pretty cooperative, this arrest wouldve most likely played out the exact same way in the US.
@@Dudeisthereexactly, actually US officers are good trained against european.. when you understand what you see, you can recognize it in videos, how they handle gun, what techniques they use, how they move.. but problem is, that most people in comments dont understand.. you learn everything once you start to serve, police school is just about range shooting, laws learning etc., you dont experience here really stressful situations, violent situations, dont work with drug users, dont see tragedies like small children being stabbed by mother and things like this.. police work is not only about how long school you have, its about experience you gained during duty and in this you cant compare norwegian and US officers, totally different world.. just like you said - this is pretty basic situation in everyday police work, if all people would be so calm and nice like this man, it would be easy job..
I've had that happen in Bærum. It's much better for the police if they can do that, but it depends on the situation. In Oslo, 95 times out of a hundred, they will tell you to take a taxi home. But we can't reward that type of behaviour by giving them a free ride home. I do believe that the police should drive more people home, but it should cost four times more than a taxi. In areas where taxi is not an option, it's different.
@@jeschinstad Giving people like the gentlemen in this video expensive fines to pay is counterproductive. He's probably ...socioeconomically challenged already. What's the point in making already poor people get impossible fines so they're more in debt? In the North of Norway for instance during winter it's inhumane to leave a very drunk person where they could die from exposure to their own devices. (But you didn't claim otherwise) I'm only disagreeing with what you call "reward". It's just human decency if you ask me.
@@nisselarson3227: Have you ever been in Oslo on a Friday or Saturday night? There would be so many people tp exploit that free ride home that the police wouldn't have time for anything else.
The drunk guy is from Lofoten, but this was filmed in Drøbak, south of Oslo. The two police officers work in Follo police district, and they were regulars on Nightwatch(Nattevakten)
@@janfrodeengh5904 Yes, but police in Oslo have to deal with people from all over the world, so this guy is just a tad bit drunk and probably already fitted into the "Nordlending" box, we all know what language they have.
I'm from Norway and this is the way they do it, we are actually very lucky to having police officers like this, and most of them is like this 👮❤️ they just want peace ✌🏼 Sending love and support from Norway 🇳🇴 🌹
And one more thing, I think how the police act in this country is the only positive thing, except for the nature of course 🏞️🏔️ But we can't order almost nothing from other countries and we don't have dollar store or Walmart or any type of cheaper alternatives 😅 but definitely a safe place to live in ❤️ that's everything I needed to say 😂 but anyways loved watching, made me laugh whit you/them and yes, the police is one of the good things in Norway 👮😄
Thats how they arrest a harmless drunk yes. Same thing in the US. However, if youre walking down the streets with a knife theatening whoever tries to arrest you they will ram and kill you with their cruiser. This idea that US cops are so much more violent and evil than the rest of the world is just social media myths. In the US they have crazy gun laws so naturally someone who refuse to comply and resists arrest will get shot if they appear to reach for a weapon, as many cops have been killed that way. Ive seen police swat up with shields and MP5s just to arrest some street thug hiding in the neighboorhood bushes several times here in norway. We just don't hear much about it which isnt weird considering were only 5mil people in this country.
Hi 👋🏻 Have worked with these two officers abroad during the migrant crisis on the turkish-greek border. I can definetly vouch for their professionalism 💪🏻 Great guys, Ronny and Svein 😎
@@magnusangeltveit7252 yes that could work because "Sinnsykehus" is the kind of judgemental vibe we can't use anymore. Insane Asylum carries a bit of the same.
I can share my experience with the Norwegian Police. It was summer 1991, I was about 18, hitch-hiking from Norway to Poland, walking on a highway. They gave me a lift and said I should not do it again. The coolest police force ever.
De-escalation works fine dealing with most Scandinavians. The problem occurs dealing with people from the Middle East. People with "a culture of honour" (sic) who often understand de-escalation as a sign of weakness that they're trying to take advantage of...
it is possible to work like this thanks to your low criminality and nice mentality, you work different in countries where you have serious incidents every day and where you are always in danger, this is one of the calmest drunk i have ever seen
@@Jenda8008Slet me put it in the simplest way, if police get aggressive and wears weapons the criminals get weapons and become more violent. It only escalates the situation if u are violent. Which is why the Nordic countries have such low crime, Sweden is the exception tho but thats not a police problem but a government problem like most places
In Norway, all police I've met are exactly like this. They're sociable and respectful, and I feel that most people in Norway have high regards for the police and respect them greatly. In fact, our police force is generally unarmed. Of course, they do arm themselves in the event of a high risk call or a general heightened risk in the country, but for the most part, their weapons are locked away. Over here, all police officers take a 3 year bachelor's degree in policing, and many go the extra route of taking a master's. The major subjects are law, criminology, ethics, human rights, communication - really, how to be a social worker. Of course, they do learn tactical skills as well, but that's not the major parts.
Yeah, that's pretty standard fare for police officers in my country too xD IMO funniest Nordic police chase video on UA-cam is the Finnish drunk bicyclist.
Thats kind of normal here in Finland. Officers know their local drunks etc. They just control the situation, like you said. And be 99.9 % sure, that he dont have a firearm.. He were so drunk, that he barely could stand, so...Having fun with the production ppl.😂😂
I also guess they know him or at least know about him. I have seen these type of guys in Sweden too - usually quite calm, but get loud when they are drunk. Not really dangerous people, also they wouldn´t hit a barn door when they are so drunk. The guy might even be aware of what happens when he get that drunk, and apologize to the police officers when he gets sober.
Usually always like this when you get out of the cities, I've had two encounters with the police and both times it was smiles and laughter. Got stopped on moped with a friend on the back without license. I was stuttering so bad they started laughing, my friend started laughing and they just told me to relax and save my money for better things. Other time was when we drove a boat to a festival and I walked up and asked if I could blow in the meter to check if I was good to drive home or not, after they laughed, thanked me for coming to them and told me to go sleep in the boat
I'm from Norway, and have to say, even though I don't like the cops, I have to give them this: they're doing a great job, _without_ bearing arms, and not too many serious misconducts.
I was looking for this comment about weapon carying =) Most people going out for a binge on the town don't take weapons with them. So it's easier to de-escalate the situations too. If the only thing he can do is "throw his shoe" or cick while stumbling, The treath is not that great. =) Good comment!
I’m a Norwegian. These two are special. They are famous here in Norway. Not everyone are like that, but most of them are calm. I guess because they don’t have weapons or teazer. Just their words and education to deescalate.
of coarse they have the tazer on them, and the gun in the car., I really hope dough,that norwegian police are allowed to ALWAYS be armed on the hip, since more and more criminal violent immigrants and gangs are in our streets
In addition the college has training .Police officer training is a three-year bachelor's degree, where the first and third year take place at the college and the second year is on-the-ground training in police districts.
They're there to protect the community, not go to war with the community. In a lot of countries like Norway, Denmark, Germany and a lot of other European countries becoming a police officer takes YEARS and not months like in the US.
As a Norwegian I’m proud of these policemen, I really hope they represent them all. 😎 It’s even funnier in Norwegian, the swearing is impossible to translate… ❤❤❤
They weren't laughing at him and that's probably one of the most important aspects of de-escalation. If someone thinks you are laughing with them, they often remain chill. If they think you are laughing at them, hoo boy that's a whole different animal. The amount of fights I've seen started over misunderstandings in humour are too many count.
Or what about the guy with the knife that they killed by ramming him into a wall with their cruiser? People are so quick to judge based on one video. 5mil pop with strict gun laws will produce less examples of "cop violence" wheras a country with 200mil, long sentences and right to bear arms produces many. Im sure theres many arrests similar to the one seen in this video in the US too.
All Norwegian police officers get a bachelor's in police work over the course of 3 years before they are fully certified as a regular patrol officer before any kind of specialization. It's all standardized. All police forces work the same way in a national system. In some outback places in the US a Sheriff can deputize a person off the street if they feel like it. On average, US officers spend around 21 weeks training before they are qualified to go on patrol. That's a huge difference.
huge difference is in criminality, you cant compare policing in norway vs US, it is totally different world.. and also, being good cop is not about how long school you have, it is about experience you gain AFTER school and also about personality of course.. this was pretty calm situation, every policeman deal with this everyday in every country, man is pretty calm, one of the calmest drunk i saw, he is cooperative and just talk
@@Jenda8008S: The claim that it doesn't matter who you hire to be police, is moronic. That's the problem in USA; they hire people who can't get other jobs. In fact the reason why you are not allowed to work as police in the US if you are intelligent, is that they believe that no intelligent person would ever want to be a police. Then what can you expect?
So you're telling me that education doesn't matter. And it's just "a different world". "different criminality" whatever that means. It's rare that someone chooses to be so in the wrong but go on @@Jenda8008S
Finally you reacted to this video. Here are two more that I hope appears on this channel: -> Top 25 places to visit in Norway by Ryan Shirley -> Norway's $47 billion floating highway by TheRichest
I'm not sure this would relate everywhere and in every situation, but as a person from Portugal I did relate to this police work. Keeping it low key and in a kind of "familiar" tone probably brings out the "familiar" feelings and keep people down in the majority of cases. I cannot relate to other situations where stuff is way more serious than this. Still, I have to appreciate the officer's work and availability to accompany the individual over a LONG period of time - hours! If you can defuse an individual by laughter that's great - not that you can every time. Cheers for this share.
As a norwegian, What’s also funny is the fact that he has a dialect. This particular dialect is a little harsher both in Tone of speaking and choice of words XD add a little intoxication (i hope he got wasted at home because you can not afford to get drink at the bar with a beer being 10 dollars) and you get this magical scene XD
You can't really compare the Norwegian police to US police since the environment and society is completely different. The reason Norwegian police are more "polite" and less "violent" is because they aren't dealing with a bunch of potentially armed people high on meth/coke like in the US. Norwegian police officers wouldn't last a day in the US being polite/funny and unarmed at the same time when all the sudden some thug draws out his pistol/knife and starts going at you.
@@jur4xNo, northern drunk sounds like that. I had wild taxi ride last week, with old finnish guy, that spent a lot of his life drinking. They high point was that he threatened to fight some men walking, that made wrong thing of arguing with him.
It's really interesting to see how different police work is in different countries. I have recently watched some videos on a YT channel from a dutch police unit, which is specialised on high speed car chasing. The channel is named "Politie Eenheid Landelijke Expertise en Operaties". Compared to videos from the US they seem to have a totally different aproach, more focused on protecting the vehicles and the driver. Check it out!
In Norway, the police actually invites street racers to compete with them, but on the premise that if they get caught street racing, they lose the invitation. I think that's a great way for the police to earn respect.
førbainnæ hestkuk, or damned horsecock is a pretty common insult in Northern Norway, where this guy is from, his dialect sounds like he is from Lofoten
It's funny because of the specific northern dialect. When he says he is pissed off it sounds funny in Norwegian because of the dialect. So i guess its more funny for Norwegians
@@JWildberry It's the swear word they use, they have their own words no one else use and Norwegian's has to know them to not react the wrong way. Meeting a big drunk Nordlending like this swearing at you can surely be scary, but it depends on what you're used to I suppose. I don't like drunk people.
Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are quite alike. We can understand each other if we study up a little. The languages used to be more or less the same one, more like Icelandic today. All other nordic countries generally make jokes about Norwegians because to us, they sound so cute and positive, regardless of what they say. Everybody laughs at their way of speaking, and some Norwegian dialects are such that even Notwegians laugh. The dude used some words that are generally used in "Tröndersk", with n sounds coming out as nj, which makes it sound almost childish, I guess.
I live in norway but im not from here originally and i have had alot of "run ins" with police here. I havent had one bad experience with the police, ever. They are in my opinion always respectful and proffessional.
As a Swede, Norwegian just sounds so funny.. and not in a bad way.. they , compared to Swedish always sound positive.. even the word depressed is ending with a positive tone..
Norwegian police is something to be proud of. As every other police in the world there are issues, but here in Norway they are atleast 100% professional and honor the code to serve and protect. (ofc few exeptions) They always try to deescalte, they meet you on common grounds, and they give the respect they get. Their goal is to rehabilitate, not punish.
Interesting bit: how does he get the money to get drunk so often ? 1 litre of supermarket beer averages NOK 68 (US$ 6.40) - 2.1 pints, or 34 oz. Most alco's need a few of those to get a buzz on.
Well, the minimum living expenses are 10412 NOK per month. It's enough for about two sixpacks per day. But it's cheap and simple to make wine and even cheaper and simpler to make vodka. For me, a liter of vodka costs 27 NOK + electricity. I like to make brandy from red wine; I first boil off the alcohol and make the brandy and then I mix the remaining red wine with beef stock and freeze it for use in cooking. Pretty much no cost at all.
@@janfrodeengh5904: Disability (trygd) is more likely than social welfare (sosialstønad). With housing allowance (bostøtte) and electricity allowance (strømstøtte) he probably has at least 12,000 per month. But more importantly, we don't know that this was the end of the month. Many alcoholics are very miserable at the end of the month when all of the money has been spent.
It's also a Norwegian brand of BBQ sauce! 🤣 "Drit Forbanna Hæstkuk"... The Brand is called "Drit Forbanna", and to any non-norwegians out there, that translates as, well, the english version of that expression is "f***ing pi**ed-off" They sold it at the local Meny store 6 months ago where i live, lol! Had a solid chuckle when i saw that! xD We have fun here in Norway! :)
As a Norwegian myself. Yes our cops are super calm. If you're calling them some cursewords they don't get fazed. I don't know why they just rarely get fazed by it. Which is why I know for sure I am not becoming a cop. My temper is terrible and I get pissed just by being called a curseword.😅
Police usually know who are actually dangerous. If they can, they avoid taking every drunken person to the drunk tank. They even give drunken people rides home rather than take them in. Often the 'customer' is already familiar to them. Here's same kind of encounters from Finland. "Ihana poliisi", "Poliisit Helsinki - Kadulta herätetty on kielimiehiä.", "Finnish police problem solving", "Finnish cops deal with a couple having oral in a park ENGLISH SUBTITLES" and "(ENGLISH CAPTIONS) Finnish police chasing a half naked drunk bicyclist".
I'm very anxious about authority figures and don't like seeing police (or my grade school home room teacher), but in my interactions with the police in Denmark they've never seemed unreasonable or high-strung or raised their voices. I do hear from my Egyptian friend that the police are rather more likely to suspect marijuana use among minorities, and I think that's probably true. No system is perfect, but it's not like the pull guns on you or start yelling unless you're being aggressive. There was a case of them brutalizing somebody using a police dog, but it's a long time ago now. I should look up some statistics.
You should react to the video of 4 Swedish police officers on vacation in the US. On the subway they stopped a fight between 2 men, one carrying a knife. They kept both restrained until the next stop where officers from NYPD picked them up
This clip is from a tv series called Nattpatruljen, Night patrol. If you manage to find this series anywhere, it's lovely to see how the people handle situations in Norway. It taught me so much watching this as a young teen, gained so much respect for the norwegian police
To add to the video, they are in a small chill sea side summer town called Drøbak. It’s a different vibe and this guy was probably also a «known character» in town as they say.
I'm Norwegian, and I love the police in Norway. I even love having conversations with them. Like... I remember when I was talking to some officers with my classmates because they decided to visit campus. We had a discussion about me racing with the police. My classmates said, "You're gonna drive so fast that the police can't catch you. Right, Gina?" I do not have a driver's license, so I said "Well, I don't have a driver's license, but I'll definitely try with a go-cart". The officers had a great time with the youth from school 😆 I also remember watching an episode of Nattpatruljen. They were filming in Tromsø, in the North of Norway. A man from the south was a police officer up there. It was him and another officer from Tromsø. A suspect was so angry, especially at the officer from the south, because "You Southers are all coming to the north to take over the North of Norway! F***ing southing!" etc. The officer from Tromsø had so much fun, laughing into tears, while the officer from the south was serious this whole time 🤣 That will forever be my favorite episode 😂
I Norway the police academy is 3 years, and it counts as a bachelors degree. And chances are the officers already know the guy and have encountered him before. And he'll be very apologetic when he's sobered up a bit. Check out the series "The Norden" here on YT, especially the one on policework where they've invited a LAPD chief to come visit the nordic countries and see how it's done here.
man how funny it is to see clips of americans reactin to norweggian stuff. was raised in the city of the first clip. what a funny moment to witness on yt as youve seen it irl
I think the most important part is not being offended for being called a horsecock! A policeman who doesn't take insults personal is the best kind of sivil servant! But we can easily imagine both civilized and uncivilized countries where the absolute greatest sin you can commit is verbally insult a policeman!
I'm from Norway, and these cops are also seen as true heroes here in Norway😊 Not many cops would have this grade of patients, but there is NO DOUBT that our norwegian police are a totaly differnt from the cops in the US. Our police do not have guns on their bodies. The guns are locked away in the trunk of the police car 😅
As a Norwegian teen, I was driven home once cus a guy (drunk/high most likely) was following me around in town, I found a security cop (not a COP) they called a cop car nearest and drove me home safe!! Really kind even let me choose music in the car LOLL
Another great example of hilarious and calm police work here in Norway, was at a beer festival. Two very drunken middle aged men ended up in a fist fight. There was one policewoman officer present (maybe half the height of the men. She made the crowd around pull back to a safe distance and just watched as these two drunken fools, managed to never lay a fist on the other. only swinging and punching air. after a short time - maybe 5 minutes. they were both exhausted and dizzy, so both just fell where they stood. she just picked up one after another put them in her car and drove them to the arrest, where they could sleep off the alcohol and not harm others. 😂
From the north of norway, like the mad lad in the video and yes, we do have a colorful language 😂 got in trouble a few times with my southern colleagues at work, because they dont get that some colorfulness is a part of the northern way of life.
How many Northerners do you need to screw a lightbulb in? 5 One guy to stand on the chair and hold the bulb and 4 people to start drinking until the room starts spinning 😄
I'm from Sweden and I've never been to Norway but Norwegian police are known for being very very chill and gentle, even more so than Swedish police, who are pretty chill too. I've been arrested twice (possession of small amounts of cannabis) and was I brought into "drunk jail" like the guy in the video, just last weekend. The cops on all 3 occasions were super chill, friendly and literally just did their job. I don't agree with some of the drug laws in my country but the police are not the ones writing legislation so there's no point being upset with them for doing what they're supposed to. As far as I can tell, most cops in Norway act similarly.
same in New Zealand, for a 'de-tox' arrest.....go and sober up in the cells, then released without charge. But if you cut up rough... you will be talking to the Judge the next day....
The education of Norwegian police is a bachelor degree (3 years of higher education) and “bad seeds” are picked out if the professors see that the student is not a police material. They are also drilled a lot on ethics and how to meet people, criminals and not. The Norwegian police don’t carry guns in the daily life, only when it’s an absolute necessity. I love the way they handle this hugely intoxicated man 😂😂. 👍🏼 from 🇳🇴
It's not just any police officer on this TV episode. They are top executives rarely seen on the street. No wonder they have a lot of experience and can handle the situation very well. I'm cutting straight from Wikipedia; Superintendent of Police is a higher middle management position for a police officer in Norway. [1] A police superintendent often has personnel responsibility and may, for example, be a deputy for the police station chief (i.e. for the head of the police station in the police district) or for the sheriff (sheriff's district). Police officers will normally either be section heads, department heads or police specialists.
The drunk guy is obviously a viking! He is from the north of Norway and is probably just a drunk fisherman! They are normally a bit loud, but also mostly calm.
Yes, as many has said the culture in Northern Norway has this very colourful language with something that might seem like swearing, but probably not as much as some thing. You can't be a "Nordlending" without this kind of colourful swearwords etc lol.
The difference is the ability to determine how to react and behave, American Police is all brute force even when it's not needed. These 2 Norwegian Officers came to the scene, looked at the guy, determined that he is Intoxicated and most likely is not a Threat. They also realize that they are 2 grown Men vs 1 very Intoxicated Male. 10/10 Times this should never be a problem or have the chance to escalate to the point where Brute Force is needed. 1 Grabbed the leg and the other turned him to the side and holds/leans on him slightly. Situation handled, no need for force when you have evaluated the entire situation. American Police should really take note and learn from this. They forget that they are dealing with people too, regardless to what the person says or does it should never make you inflict unnecessary pain to someone else
They're not only "police officers", they've got a combined total of years in service (at the time of taping) of more than 45 years, as they're both - strangely enough - paired up as "innsatsleder", the officer basically in charge of the scene on a shift. So no surprise they're cool, calm and collected.
This guy reminds me of the guy in the video "Drunk Man Sings Bohemian Rhapsody From The Back Of A Police Car" ... < he did the whole song - pretty good! :)
A very important detail is that the suspect has a deep Northern dialect. And thats what makes this guy at least a 70% funnier watch for Norwegians. Its a colorful language. For context and propably the best comparison I can make: Imagine a deep southern hillbilly american, piss drunk in New York lmao! And most Norwegians have strong confidence and trust in the policemen.
Police "training" in Norway is a 3 year bachelor degree.
vs.
Police training in US is a 3 month course then they get a gun to fight crime.
If you're lucky it's 3 months. In Hawaii, there is no mandatory training before the job. When U learned about this fact, the pilot of Hawaii 5-0 suddenly made sense. The governor appointed Steve Garrett as a police officer, just so.
here in Czech Republic 2 years for basic possitions and bachelor degree for some sergeant possition and all young officers ranks and MBA degree for higher officers.
They don't get a gun to fight crime, they get it quash any challenge to their authority or ego.
Similarly here, and if you aspire to become an officer, that's one more year, plus, law, psychology, sociology courses
@@twinmama42 Yes, but....
Garrett was a lieutenant commander a Navy SEAL, not exactly someone from the road
as a "special policeman" he had the rank of sergeant
***
and yes,
a U.S. Marshals declares you a "deputy" on the road and you can help him make an arrest, and if he does the paperwork to make it clear in court, from then on you are a "federal agent" (in reserve)
The drunk is a Northern Norwegian, they're known for their colorful language. :P
To the point that the cussword he used "Hæstkuk" (which translates to horse cock) was judged in court to just be an expression, as some guy got arrested for calling a police officer it, the word is seemingly used so much it was basically deemed part of their dialect rather than an insult. :P
Basically equivaent in meaning and severity somewhere beteren Dirtbag and Asshole.
That fits - looks like the guy had a very fun night out
The police were exemplary - it seems they were dealing with somebody who might have been drinking to excess because of some severe mental problems. They knew this, and were perfect, even when he lashed out. [superb training, clearly]
Believe it or not, the word is not exclusively negative. It is also used among friends, presumably as a form of recognition of friendship - "To you I can say anything - we are friends". I'm from the north, btw.
The word is used both as an insult and a compliment. The only thing differentiating which is which is the context.
Can't imagine, to handle this in another way, cause this guy is obviously aggressive but so drunk that the policemen are able to handle him without violence easily. That's what american police needs to learn the most, de-escalation, to don't make the situation worst just with their own actions.
It's also a lot less stressfull for the police! 😉
Greetings from Berlin 😎
European police is trained to de-escalate. As long as you are "only being loud", they are pretty chill
Wrong you mean mostly those in north/central europe so just think of eastern part of europe and you will notice this aint true but still funny video for sure
@@volk0796 Well in east things are more dangerous.. imagine how many weapons and illegal imigrants are being transported due to war in ukraine.. also balkans are chaper itself.. there you cant even have a girl from different village as she can have diff religion and there are stories of newly wed murdered for it even when it their child and even long marriages were destroyed by it. My dad was truck driver and after yugoslavia departed he was there and saw all.. most buildings with holes from guns/ artilery.. one city was between mountains and was regulary bombarded. He was also stopped at gunpoint by milita and was about 3 days blinded in basement. Not even UN could stop all the genocide and had to protect food/ aid and watch civilians murdered in front of them
@@jandys6328 As a Balkan-er, and a former Yugoslavian, i'd say you are right about the 90's which were turbulent years (should we go back to the 40's in Western Europe?), but now days, not much different "crime vise" than the rest of Europe. In fact, i would go to say that i feel safer any time of day or night in any Eastern European major cities then in Paris, London, Barcelona, parts of Rome or Naples. Of course there is crime and sketchy neighborhoods everywhere, but those exist in any town in every country. Parts of Malmö in Sweden resemble more of Somalia then a Scandinavian town.
Not in France... they're estranged with the "protect & serve" concept.
Or rather they only apply the concept to themselves given the number of times they've been caught shamelessly lying to protect themselves or their colleagues after very bad arrests, lynching a person or outright killing one.
Even when facing evidence proving they've lied...
Or their very bad habit of using the sirens at shift change to return faster to the precinct, which is definitely not an emergency.
It's particularly exhausting when you live on a boulevard near a precinct, like I did, and you hear sirens every few minutes 24/7/365...
Firefighters, ambulances, civil rescue, etc. all use their sirens a LOT LESS ; at night they mostly emit only short bursts at half volume when it's really needed like at intersections.
Or policemen refusing to take complaints when they don't feel like it... Or giving you an invalid complaint number, when there's even one...
They are super confrontational, they often talk to the people they control by using the familiar form while at the same time demanding the formal when addressing them...
When they feel like it or when they have a personal grudge they threaten to, or outright charge for "outrage" which is like contempt, even though the person simply objected to the way they were treated, without contempt nor insult.
And when a cop does something very very very bad, the whole corporation stands behind them and cries that they are mistreated or that it is just anti-police rhetoric.
Plus, one of the main police unions is clearly far right wing, racist, borderline fascist.
They demand "presumption of effective self defense" for all beatings and shootings and that the burden of proof be reversed for them.
They want all deaths or severe harm they cause to be automatically defined as plainly justified, plaintiffs would have to prove that it wasn't.
In other words they want to be above the law and to have a license to kill.
They also demand absolute respect, whatever their behavior is...
They tend to refuse switching on their bodycam, refuse to wear a clear identifier and often cover it with other parts of their uniform.
And cherry on the cake, they refuse to have a civil oversight : the equivalent of internal affairs or standards is done by other cops...
Which is like patients guarding the looney bin...
The French police is crass.
International organizations like the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice, the UN and Amnesty International complained several times about the French police and for good reasons...
English football fans had a taste of it not so long ago during an euro cup final (if I recall correctly but I don't know anything about football, I'd prefer watching pain dry rather than football).
@@dralvarhanso I mean no offense to you at all, I see its way different now, and what I also see in Norway or Sweden its insane, as a czech here its safe but also few ghettos of gypsies and I would never go there. But again its like their community and bad people are in every society. I also would feel more in danger in west as most easterners are kind, only sound angry to some, but watching americans commenting like all arabs are terrorists etc. It makes my blood boil as cities like Chicago has its own page of yearly murded etc..
With the prices of alcohol in Norway, the biggest miracle is how this guy got so drunk.
"I've saved for weeks for these four cans of bokkøl and I've not eaten in 3 days. Let's get this party started".
its easy we drink alot at home before we go out to the bar or club so you get drunk before the club and then you only need 1-3 expensive drinks to get this drunk haha xD
Moonshine you know ;P
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude is from Lofoten, that far north it'd be impressive if you found someone that didn't have some sort of way to make their own alcohol or booze :p
As a Swedish firefighter, I'd say that MO is from the Scandinavian police handbook. Generally we try to act deescalating instead of that macho stuff. But of course with controlled but decisive action when needed.
Even more so when the police have firearms! In Norway the police normally do not carry guns, but in other Northern European countries, where they carry firearms (Sweden, Finland, Denmark, etc.) it is even more difficult to find a compromise with extremely violent criminals, because not every agent has a taser, and the use of pistols or rifles is only a last resort; you could be charged with attempted murder even if you are just defending yourself or trying to defend other people.
Europe it's definitely different from US.
Civilized behavior is a rarity on the planet - but how does that approach work when confronted and challenged by hostile uncivilized populations?
@@FSboy70: It's culture, not genetics. Do you think that Scandinavians don't know hostile and uncivilized populations? We decided to change for a reason. But it's all part of a system. You need to help those who need help. Most drug and mental issues are caused by financial problems and that is very easy to fix. We have chosen to end homelessness, for instance and give people a right to have a home. That helps enormously against crime. If you give people a right to live, including a home, livable income and healthcare, a lot of problems just disappear and the money saved pays for the benefits. But you have to start somewhere. Finance is the most important.
@@jeschinstad Ja dette var jo ikke fossilert ideologisk populisisk tåketale som vi har hørt reptert i over 40 år. Og det har fortsatt ikke blitt sant.
Du får komme tilbake når du har noe nytt og fornuftig å bidra med.
Og selvsagt stammer kultur fra folk, altså fra etniske grupper.
@@jeschinstad Yep. Once you get most the population a roof over their head, access to healthcare, food everyday etc, you lose most of the opportunistic problem causers (people doing crime for drugs, food, peace to sleep etc.
Once you have that under control, such as with healthcare for drug users, you only have to worry about lifelong criminals who WANT TO, because people who have no other choice can suddenly be safe, eat everyday and not be forced into crime!
I honestly, for all its issues, think NAV and access to healthcare, as well as short and long term housing for people in need, are one of the best things we have. It has saved my life more than once, as I would legitimately just be de*d if I lived in North or south America.
Even though I'm in a bad place and I'm not getting the help I need, I am still better off anywhere in Scandinavia (Norway, Denmark, Sweden) than anywhere else in the world, as we have a bond, and we want *_EVERYONE_* that lives here to be successful, happy, healthy, unbothered and as good as possible. Not living under fear of parents, religion, v¡olence etc etc
They are so calm because unlike American police, they don’t take things personal. No ego involved
American police officers risk their lives every day in huge cities with armed gang activity.
Norway is a very long stretched country with only about 6 mill citizens spread over the land. So there`s a lot of small towns and almost no gang activity.
The big cities are few and far between, being like small towns in the US.
We have a social security with benefits like health care etc and to keep poverty low, any Norwegian citizen has a lower basic income from the state if not working. It`s about 700 USD a month, with rent and electricity paid for by the state over the tax bill.
So even if you`re an addict out of work, you get an apartment and basic needs covered so there really isn`t a need to be a criminal here.
It`s really not fair to compare cops in US and Norway. The US cops have a much tougher job and a lot more criminals to handle.
Or it's because they are on reality TV... You should listen to what Eugene Obiora says. Oh wait, you can't, because norwegian cops killed him
@@anofsti SO one police officer killed a guy back in 2006 and you judge every police officer in Norway for that? Are every american cop racist just because Floyd died from a self inflicted Fentanyl overdose?
@@anofsti The fact that you are using an example from 18 years ago, says a lot.
@@anofsti I've literally had Politipatruljen and investigators in my house while having hash, growing equipment, bongs and pipes scattered about in my house without them confiscating anything, as they were investigating a kidnapping. They thanked me for letting them in, and I never heard from them again. I'm half african. The case you mention was disgusting, but saying that everyone gets treated like that is like saying you won't ever go to Belgium because Leopold used to be king. It's a mentally deficient way of thinking.
This is what police work can look like if the officers are trained well and for a long time. De-escalation must always be the first goal.
The 2nd sentence came out very wrong, although I think people get what you wanted to say. But I'd say safety is always on the 1st place. De-escalation is very important, still often missing.
It takes three years of training to become a policeman in Norway. In the US you only need 19 weeks.
@@oakld When you de-escalate, you automatically ensure security.
@@alexr71 Even training to become a barber takes longer than police training in the US. And unfortunately, this is not a joke.
@@Kelsea-2002 You have to be alive though, to deescalate.
I'm Norwegian and my impression is that there is a general respect for the police in this country. They are respectful, patient and chill. They are trained to solve problems by de-escalatin as much as possible, instead of using power, force and authority. They literally "protect and serve" and I think that goes for most police in European countries.
Eugene Obiora disagree. Or rather those he left behind after he was murdered by men in blue at a local NAV
@@anofsti18 years ago bro. Move on…
Not true at all. If you dont tell them ur name they will stand 4 guys over you and put you into the ground. How is that police work?
I disagree. It's probably you being a woman that makes your experience with police pleasant.
Bullshit. Vi lever I verdens siste politi stat og nnærmest kommunisme i verdenshistorien.. folk, som i verden, kommer til å få sjokk, når all oppvaska skal ut og frem med min generasjon.........
You stopped to soon..the best part is the cops getting the giggles in the car after they left😂
I saw that right after recording 🤣
Funny thing that you miss if you don't understand the language, but "Is she heart-dead?" is actually a mistranslation, he actually asked if she was Brain dead! XD
That's probably what he _tried_ to say, but he _did_ say "hjertedød", which isn't a thing, which is why it's funny. Hjernedød/hjertedød.
@@jeschinstad Technically hjertedöd is rather similar to just död. :)
I think there is two subtitled versions of this arrest, at least two that are being reacted to. This one is the most popular, but also with the, by far, worst translations.
hjerne (brain) and hjerte (heart).
Surprisinglky, easy mistake to make, i guess... Just a one-letter difference, and when your mind is swimming in alcohol and rage, keeping your pronounciation on track is very difficult... I can barely even speak when i'm angry, lol.
As a swede its extra funny that the word for calm in norwegian is the same as fun/funny for us. So when the police tell him to calm down, all i hear is have fun.

Good guys.
Svein og Ronny🙂👍
In most european countries policemen have to absolve years and years of training and study before they can work as policemen, they also study psychology and how to behave with people.
And being violent makes you fired fast. They get rewarded to endure the crazy people.
Some years ago I saw a comparison between a Finnish and American officer. If I remember it right the Finnish officer has a four year education and the American less than a year.
If the education is good people learn a lot.
Then the salary has to be reasonable, otherwise it's difficult to attract suitable individuals.
Except in France, where it's now super short due to staffing shortages.
It's also a far right nest, it's terrifying...
To the point international civil rights institutions have expressed concerns about the French police.
Not too long ago, a decent policeman was sacked for alerting the media after a lack of reaction of its hierarchy about systematic abuse, mostly racial and mistreatments by many of his colleagues in the "tombs" of a courthouse.
The main police unions fight to obtain a "presumption of effective self defense" only for cops that would reverse the burden of proof when they harm or kill someone.
A measure that can only be described as fascist.
It really is terrifying...
I've lost every single bit of trust in the French police...
The length of training alone doesnt tell you how effective it is. Policing in Europe and the US is completely different, you cant compare the two. The guy in this video was being pretty cooperative, this arrest wouldve most likely played out the exact same way in the US.
@@Dudeisthereexactly, actually US officers are good trained against european.. when you understand what you see, you can recognize it in videos, how they handle gun, what techniques they use, how they move.. but problem is, that most people in comments dont understand.. you learn everything once you start to serve, police school is just about range shooting, laws learning etc., you dont experience here really stressful situations, violent situations, dont work with drug users, dont see tragedies like small children being stabbed by mother and things like this.. police work is not only about how long school you have, its about experience you gained during duty and in this you cant compare norwegian and US officers, totally different world.. just like you said - this is pretty basic situation in everyday police work, if all people would be so calm and nice like this man, it would be easy job..
These Norwegian police officers were fantastic! Sense of humor, great reflexes too.
These cops are wonderful, they know their job is to help people, not to beat them down. Respect.
He is from Lofoten 😂
In the North, the Police drive you home
I've had that happen in Bærum. It's much better for the police if they can do that, but it depends on the situation. In Oslo, 95 times out of a hundred, they will tell you to take a taxi home. But we can't reward that type of behaviour by giving them a free ride home. I do believe that the police should drive more people home, but it should cost four times more than a taxi. In areas where taxi is not an option, it's different.
@@jeschinstad Giving people like the gentlemen in this video expensive fines to pay is counterproductive. He's probably ...socioeconomically challenged already. What's the point in making already poor people get impossible fines so they're more in debt? In the North of Norway for instance during winter it's inhumane to leave a very drunk person where they could die from exposure to their own devices. (But you didn't claim otherwise) I'm only disagreeing with what you call "reward". It's just human decency if you ask me.
@@nisselarson3227: Have you ever been in Oslo on a Friday or Saturday night? There would be so many people tp exploit that free ride home that the police wouldn't have time for anything else.
The drunk guy is from Lofoten, but this was filmed in Drøbak, south of Oslo. The two police officers work in Follo police district, and they were regulars on Nightwatch(Nattevakten)
@@janfrodeengh5904 Yes, but police in Oslo have to deal with people from all over the world, so this guy is just a tad bit drunk and probably already fitted into the "Nordlending" box, we all know what language they have.
I'm from Norway and this is the way they do it, we are actually very lucky to having police officers like this, and most of them is like this 👮❤️ they just want peace ✌🏼
Sending love and support from Norway 🇳🇴 🌹
And one more thing, I think how the police act in this country is the only positive thing, except for the nature of course 🏞️🏔️ But we can't order almost nothing from other countries and we don't have dollar store or Walmart or any type of cheaper alternatives 😅 but definitely a safe place to live in ❤️ that's everything I needed to say 😂 but anyways loved watching, made me laugh whit you/them and yes, the police is one of the good things in Norway 👮😄
Thats how they arrest a harmless drunk yes. Same thing in the US. However, if youre walking down the streets with a knife theatening whoever tries to arrest you they will ram and kill you with their cruiser. This idea that US cops are so much more violent and evil than the rest of the world is just social media myths. In the US they have crazy gun laws so naturally someone who refuse to comply and resists arrest will get shot if they appear to reach for a weapon, as many cops have been killed that way. Ive seen police swat up with shields and MP5s just to arrest some street thug hiding in the neighboorhood bushes several times here in norway. We just don't hear much about it which isnt weird considering were only 5mil people in this country.
Hi 👋🏻 Have worked with these two officers abroad during the migrant crisis on the turkish-greek border. I can definetly vouch for their professionalism 💪🏻 Great guys, Ronny and Svein 😎

I can share my experience with the Norwegian Police. It was summer 1991, I was about 18, hitch-hiking from Norway to Poland, walking on a highway. They gave me a lift and said I should not do it again.
The coolest police force ever.
Deescalation is the trick to good policing. That is policing the European way. The guy is from the islands.
De-escalation works fine dealing with most Scandinavians. The problem occurs dealing with people from the Middle East. People with "a culture of honour" (sic) who often understand de-escalation as a sign of weakness that they're trying to take advantage of...
As a Norwegian, it actually becomes more funny by how blown away and pleasantly shocked you are 😄
Nordic police are trained not to show aggression, anti-violence holding. and they go to police school for 3 years
it is possible to work like this thanks to your low criminality and nice mentality, you work different in countries where you have serious incidents every day and where you are always in danger, this is one of the calmest drunk i have ever seen
@@Jenda8008S
De-escalation would work for the most part in the USA as well but most police officers in the USA go wading in and throw fuel on embers.
@@Jenda8008Slet me put it in the simplest way, if police get aggressive and wears weapons the criminals get weapons and become more violent. It only escalates the situation if u are violent. Which is why the Nordic countries have such low crime, Sweden is the exception tho but thats not a police problem but a government problem like most places
@@Zirion123 Were starting to see daily stabbings in immigrant teen gangs these days. Its not because police suddenly became more aggressive.
Well trained officers, I like to watch them doing their service to the community. ❤
If you by trained mean a three year university degree then yes. They are actually educated in their profession.
@@Toneh9 of course, I never thought they did less for their jobskills than our police in in germany. Only pointing at their professionalism.
In Norway, all police I've met are exactly like this. They're sociable and respectful, and I feel that most people in Norway have high regards for the police and respect them greatly. In fact, our police force is generally unarmed. Of course, they do arm themselves in the event of a high risk call or a general heightened risk in the country, but for the most part, their weapons are locked away.
Over here, all police officers take a 3 year bachelor's degree in policing, and many go the extra route of taking a master's. The major subjects are law, criminology, ethics, human rights, communication - really, how to be a social worker. Of course, they do learn tactical skills as well, but that's not the major parts.
If cops goes into a cafè or gas station in Norway they will most likely be offered some free bakery and coffee. It has been that way for ever.
I'm a Norwegian, and this was so a good representation of what Norwegian police officers are like, especially the more seasoned ones. 😊
Yeah, that's pretty standard fare for police officers in my country too xD
IMO funniest Nordic police chase video on UA-cam is the Finnish drunk bicyclist.

Alles gut, greetings from Finland!
Yes, those two were particularly relaxed and chill. I guess they know him and he is a usual suspect for that kind of thing. (i mean .. number 23)
I also guess they know him or at least know about him. I have seen these type of guys in Sweden too - usually quite calm, but get loud when they are drunk. Not really dangerous people, also they wouldn´t hit a barn door when they are so drunk. The guy might even be aware of what happens when he get that drunk, and apologize to the police officers when he gets sober.
Usually always like this when you get out of the cities, I've had two encounters with the police and both times it was smiles and laughter. Got stopped on moped with a friend on the back without license. I was stuttering so bad they started laughing, my friend started laughing and they just told me to relax and save my money for better things.
Other time was when we drove a boat to a festival and I walked up and asked if I could blow in the meter to check if I was good to drive home or not, after they laughed, thanked me for coming to them and told me to go sleep in the boat
This two police officer are in a Norwegian police tv show in norway.They are realy good officer.
I'm from Norway, and have to say, even though I don't like the cops, I have to give them this: they're doing a great job, _without_ bearing arms, and not too many serious misconducts.
I was looking for this comment about weapon carying =) Most people going out for a binge on the town don't take weapons with them. So it's easier to de-escalate the situations too. If the only thing he can do is "throw his shoe" or cick while stumbling, The treath is not that great. =) Good comment!
I’m a Norwegian. These two are special. They are famous here in Norway. Not everyone are like that, but most of them are calm. I guess because they don’t have weapons or teazer. Just their words and education to deescalate.
of coarse they have the tazer on them, and the gun in the car., I really hope dough,that norwegian police are allowed to ALWAYS be armed on the hip, since more and more criminal violent immigrants and gangs are in our streets
In addition the college has training .Police officer training is a three-year bachelor's degree, where the first and third year take place at the college and the second year is on-the-ground training in police districts.
Almost all cops in norway Are realy cool and calm. As an Norwegian i am realy thankful for our police force.
They're there to protect the community, not go to war with the community.
In a lot of countries like Norway, Denmark, Germany and a lot of other European countries becoming a police officer takes YEARS and not months like in the US.
As a Norwegian I’m proud of these policemen, I really hope they represent them all. 😎 It’s even funnier in Norwegian, the swearing is impossible to translate… ❤❤❤
Great reaction!😊Yes,this is how Norwegian police work.❤
They weren't laughing at him and that's probably one of the most important aspects of de-escalation. If someone thinks you are laughing with them, they often remain chill. If they think you are laughing at them, hoo boy that's a whole different animal. The amount of fights I've seen started over misunderstandings in humour are too many count.
Suggestion: crazy Norwegian police chase robbers. Dagbladet TV
Or what about the guy with the knife that they killed by ramming him into a wall with their cruiser? People are so quick to judge based on one video. 5mil pop with strict gun laws will produce less examples of "cop violence" wheras a country with 200mil, long sentences and right to bear arms produces many. Im sure theres many arrests similar to the one seen in this video in the US too.
He's pissed and pissed off at the same time. 😂
All Norwegian police officers get a bachelor's in police work over the course of 3 years before they are fully certified as a regular patrol officer before any kind of specialization. It's all standardized. All police forces work the same way in a national system.
In some outback places in the US a Sheriff can deputize a person off the street if they feel like it. On average, US officers spend around 21 weeks training before they are qualified to go on patrol.
That's a huge difference.
Yes and in the US, having an IQ over 115 is disqualifying.
huge difference is in criminality, you cant compare policing in norway vs US, it is totally different world.. and also, being good cop is not about how long school you have, it is about experience you gain AFTER school and also about personality of course.. this was pretty calm situation, every policeman deal with this everyday in every country, man is pretty calm, one of the calmest drunk i saw, he is cooperative and just talk
@@Jenda8008S: The claim that it doesn't matter who you hire to be police, is moronic. That's the problem in USA; they hire people who can't get other jobs. In fact the reason why you are not allowed to work as police in the US if you are intelligent, is that they believe that no intelligent person would ever want to be a police. Then what can you expect?
So you're telling me that education doesn't matter. And it's just "a different world". "different criminality" whatever that means. It's rare that someone chooses to be so in the wrong but go on @@Jenda8008S
@@Jenda8008Sso you are saying officers facing lots of crime need LESS training?
I can still remember rolling on the floor laughing when this aired on TV. What a character! 🤣🤣🤣
The show is called Night Shift at a police station in norway.
Ye its from the first 2 seasons of it which were in Bærum and Asker area, if i remember right this is in Sandvika
Drøbak@@Zirion123
Its from Follo?
@@Zirion123
Thank you. Big respect to the officers.
Finally you reacted to this video. Here are two more that I hope appears on this channel:
-> Top 25 places to visit in Norway by Ryan Shirley
-> Norway's $47 billion floating highway by TheRichest
Imagine you must lock up a guy for the 23rd time in the last 30 days of your duty😂 You'd be also chilled as f.
I'm not sure this would relate everywhere and in every situation, but as a person from Portugal I did relate to this police work. Keeping it low key and in a kind of "familiar" tone probably brings out the "familiar" feelings and keep people down in the majority of cases. I cannot relate to other situations where stuff is way more serious than this. Still, I have to appreciate the officer's work and availability to accompany the individual over a LONG period of time - hours! If you can defuse an individual by laughter that's great - not that you can every time. Cheers for this share.
Even more funny if you understand Norwegian
I don't but it still tickled me 😂
As a norwegian, What’s also funny is the fact that he has a dialect. This particular dialect is a little harsher both in Tone of speaking and choice of words XD add a little intoxication (i hope he got wasted at home because you can not afford to get drink at the bar with a beer being 10 dollars) and you get this magical scene XD
You can't really compare the Norwegian police to US police since the environment and society is completely different.
The reason Norwegian police are more "polite" and less "violent" is because they aren't dealing with a bunch of potentially
armed people high on meth/coke like in the US. Norwegian police officers wouldn't last a day in the US being polite/funny
and unarmed at the same time when all the sudden some thug draws out his pistol/knife and starts going at you.
Mulig politiet i Usa hadde hatt mindre å gjøre om de endret våpenpolitikken 🙂
The suspect sounding like an angry viking
voice was probably altered for privacy protection
@@jur4xNo, northern drunk sounds like that. I had wild taxi ride last week, with old finnish guy, that spent a lot of his life drinking. They high point was that he threatened to fight some men walking, that made wrong thing of arguing with him.
It's really interesting to see how different police work is in different countries. I have recently watched some videos on a YT channel from a dutch police unit, which is specialised on high speed car chasing. The channel is named "Politie Eenheid Landelijke Expertise en Operaties". Compared to videos from the US they seem to have a totally different aproach, more focused on protecting the vehicles and the driver.
Check it out!
Check out The Norden, here on YT, and their episode about policework.
In Norway, the police actually invites street racers to compete with them, but on the premise that if they get caught street racing, they lose the invitation. I think that's a great way for the police to earn respect.
@@jeschinstad Det visste jeg ikke. Hvor gjør de det? Og hvor kan jeg lese om dette?
førbainnæ hestkuk, or damned horsecock is a pretty common insult in Northern Norway, where this guy is from, his dialect sounds like he is from Lofoten
It's funny because of the specific northern dialect. When he says he is pissed off it sounds funny in Norwegian because of the dialect. So i guess its more funny for Norwegians
Really? Why? Because of the stereotypes?
@@JWildberry yes that to. Stereotype of drunken northerners. But also, it just sounds funny the way they talk.
@@JWildberry It's the swear word they use, they have their own words no one else use and Norwegian's has to know them to not react the wrong way. Meeting a big drunk Nordlending like this swearing at you can surely be scary, but it depends on what you're used to I suppose. I don't like drunk people.
Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are quite alike. We can understand each other if we study up a little. The languages used to be more or less the same one, more like Icelandic today. All other nordic countries generally make jokes about Norwegians because to us, they sound so cute and positive, regardless of what they say. Everybody laughs at their way of speaking, and some Norwegian dialects are such that even Notwegians laugh. The dude used some words that are generally used in "Tröndersk", with n sounds coming out as nj, which makes it sound almost childish, I guess.
He clearly stated he’s not intoxicated!
I live in norway but im not from here originally and i have had alot of "run ins" with police here. I havent had one bad experience with the police, ever. They are in my opinion always respectful and proffessional.
As a Swede, Norwegian just sounds so funny.. and not in a bad way.. they , compared to Swedish always sound positive.. even the word depressed is ending with a positive tone..
Og svensk høres så poetisk ut.☺
I'm a Norwegian, I've never been arrested like this. But my impression is that the Norwegian Police in general act very professionally.
Watch some Finnish police videos, they are fun too😂
Norwegian police is something to be proud of.
As every other police in the world there are issues, but here in Norway they are atleast 100% professional and honor the code to serve and protect. (ofc few exeptions)
They always try to deescalte, they meet you on common grounds, and they give the respect they get. Their goal is to rehabilitate, not punish.
Interesting bit: how does he get the money to get drunk so often ? 1 litre of supermarket beer averages NOK 68 (US$ 6.40) - 2.1 pints, or 34 oz. Most alco's need a few of those to get a buzz on.
Smuggled beer or vodka probably. And alcoholics doesn't need that much after a while.
Well, the minimum living expenses are 10412 NOK per month. It's enough for about two sixpacks per day. But it's cheap and simple to make wine and even cheaper and simpler to make vodka. For me, a liter of vodka costs 27 NOK + electricity. I like to make brandy from red wine; I first boil off the alcohol and make the brandy and then I mix the remaining red wine with beef stock and freeze it for use in cooking. Pretty much no cost at all.
He's on social welfare, perhaps subsidised living by the municipality, and he might even have a small pension from a more sober life when was younger.
@@janfrodeengh5904: Disability (trygd) is more likely than social welfare (sosialstønad). With housing allowance (bostøtte) and electricity allowance (strømstøtte) he probably has at least 12,000 per month. But more importantly, we don't know that this was the end of the month. Many alcoholics are very miserable at the end of the month when all of the money has been spent.
could have made his own moonshine ?? It's not hard to do.
"Førbanna hæstkukk" is the most northern-Norwegian thing someone can say.
It's also a Norwegian brand of BBQ sauce! 🤣
"Drit Forbanna Hæstkuk"... The Brand is called "Drit Forbanna", and to any non-norwegians out there, that translates as, well, the english version of that expression is "f***ing pi**ed-off"
They sold it at the local Meny store 6 months ago where i live, lol! Had a solid chuckle when i saw that! xD
We have fun here in Norway! :)
this guy in the us , probably get shot in the second minutes...
In Canada, if you're depressed, the police will assist with your offing.
Or at least tased
As a Norwegian myself. Yes our cops are super calm. If you're calling them some cursewords they don't get fazed. I don't know why they just rarely get fazed by it. Which is why I know for sure I am not becoming a cop. My temper is terrible and I get pissed just by being called a curseword.😅
Police usually know who are actually dangerous. If they can, they avoid taking every drunken person to the drunk tank. They even give drunken people rides home rather than take them in. Often the 'customer' is already familiar to them. Here's same kind of encounters from Finland. "Ihana poliisi", "Poliisit Helsinki - Kadulta herätetty on kielimiehiä.", "Finnish police problem solving", "Finnish cops deal with a couple having oral in a park ENGLISH SUBTITLES" and "(ENGLISH CAPTIONS) Finnish police chasing a half naked drunk bicyclist".
I'm very anxious about authority figures and don't like seeing police (or my grade school home room teacher), but in my interactions with the police in Denmark they've never seemed unreasonable or high-strung or raised their voices.
I do hear from my Egyptian friend that the police are rather more likely to suspect marijuana use among minorities, and I think that's probably true. No system is perfect, but it's not like the pull guns on you or start yelling unless you're being aggressive. There was a case of them brutalizing somebody using a police dog, but it's a long time ago now. I should look up some statistics.
You should react to the video of 4 Swedish police officers on vacation in the US. On the subway they stopped a fight between 2 men, one carrying a knife. They kept both restrained until the next stop where officers from NYPD picked them up
This clip is from a tv series called Nattpatruljen, Night patrol. If you manage to find this series anywhere, it's lovely to see how the people handle situations in Norway. It taught me so much watching this as a young teen, gained so much respect for the norwegian police
This clip is legendary! I´m from Norway and I´ve lost count of how many times I´ve seen this clip! Norways finest! 🤗
To add to the video, they are in a small chill sea side summer town called Drøbak. It’s a different vibe and this guy was probably also a «known character» in town as they say.
I really like the Austrian license plate in the background. It is specifically from my federal home state Styria (Steiermark).
That’s awesome! 🎉😎 a viewer from Austria sent that in
Happy to see the Sport Quattro S1 in the background.
Is a golden clip.😄
I'm Norwegian, and I love the police in Norway. I even love having conversations with them. Like... I remember when I was talking to some officers with my classmates because they decided to visit campus. We had a discussion about me racing with the police. My classmates said, "You're gonna drive so fast that the police can't catch you. Right, Gina?" I do not have a driver's license, so I said "Well, I don't have a driver's license, but I'll definitely try with a go-cart". The officers had a great time with the youth from school 😆
I also remember watching an episode of Nattpatruljen. They were filming in Tromsø, in the North of Norway. A man from the south was a police officer up there. It was him and another officer from Tromsø. A suspect was so angry, especially at the officer from the south, because "You Southers are all coming to the north to take over the North of Norway! F***ing southing!" etc. The officer from Tromsø had so much fun, laughing into tears, while the officer from the south was serious this whole time 🤣 That will forever be my favorite episode 😂
I Norway the police academy is 3 years, and it counts as a bachelors degree.
And chances are the officers already know the guy and have encountered him before. And he'll be very apologetic when he's sobered up a bit.
Check out the series "The Norden" here on YT, especially the one on policework where they've invited a LAPD chief to come visit the nordic countries and see how it's done here.
man how funny it is to see clips of americans reactin to norweggian stuff. was raised in the city of the first clip. what a funny moment to witness on yt as youve seen it irl
when the MySummerCar protagonist gets lost in norway trying to get more beer and sausages but didnt notice the finish border
I think the most important part is not being offended for being called a horsecock! A policeman who doesn't take insults personal is the best kind of sivil servant! But we can easily imagine both civilized and uncivilized countries where the absolute greatest sin you can commit is verbally insult a policeman!
I'm from Norway, and these cops are also seen as true heroes here in Norway😊 Not many cops would have this grade of patients, but there is NO DOUBT that our norwegian police are a totaly differnt from the cops in the US. Our police do not have guns on their bodies. The guns are locked away in the trunk of the police car 😅
As a Norwegian teen, I was driven home once cus a guy (drunk/high most likely) was following me around in town, I found a security cop (not a COP) they called a cop car nearest and drove me home safe!! Really kind even let me choose music in the car LOLL
Another great example of hilarious and calm police work here in Norway, was at a beer festival. Two very drunken middle aged men ended up in a fist fight. There was one policewoman officer present (maybe half the height of the men. She made the crowd around pull back to a safe distance and just watched as these two drunken fools, managed to never lay a fist on the other. only swinging and punching air. after a short time - maybe 5 minutes. they were both exhausted and dizzy, so both just fell where they stood. she just picked up one after another put them in her car and drove them to the arrest, where they could sleep off the alcohol and not harm others. 😂
Norwegian police is GREAT! They study for THREE years and have a bachelor degree and they keep training.
From the north of norway, like the mad lad in the video and yes, we do have a colorful language 😂 got in trouble a few times with my southern colleagues at work, because they dont get that some colorfulness is a part of the northern way of life.
The drunken guy is from northern Norway, which makes it even funnier because of his dialect. They're kinda well known to use lots of expletives.... 😂
How many Northerners do you need to screw a lightbulb in?
5
One guy to stand on the chair and hold the bulb and 4 people to start drinking until the room starts spinning 😄
I'm from Sweden and I've never been to Norway but Norwegian police are known for being very very chill and gentle, even more so than Swedish police, who are pretty chill too.
I've been arrested twice (possession of small amounts of cannabis) and was I brought into "drunk jail" like the guy in the video, just last weekend. The cops on all 3 occasions were super chill, friendly and literally just did their job.
I don't agree with some of the drug laws in my country but the police are not the ones writing legislation so there's no point being upset with them for doing what they're supposed to. As far as I can tell, most cops in Norway act similarly.
I have watched police officers in Adelaide in South Australia handle situations like this in a similar manner.
same in New Zealand, for a 'de-tox' arrest.....go and sober up in the cells, then released without charge.
But if you cut up rough... you will be talking to the Judge the next day....
The education of Norwegian police is a bachelor degree (3 years of higher education) and “bad seeds” are picked out if the professors see that the student is not a police material. They are also drilled a lot on ethics and how to meet people, criminals and not. The Norwegian police don’t carry guns in the daily life, only when it’s an absolute necessity. I love the way they handle this hugely intoxicated man 😂😂. 👍🏼 from 🇳🇴
It's not just any police officer on this TV episode. They are top executives rarely seen on the street. No wonder they have a lot of experience and can handle the situation very well. I'm cutting straight from Wikipedia; Superintendent of Police is a higher middle management position for a police officer in Norway. [1] A police superintendent often has personnel responsibility and may, for example, be a deputy for the police station chief (i.e. for the head of the police station in the police district) or for the sheriff (sheriff's district). Police officers will normally either be section heads, department heads or police specialists.
As someone who has grown up and is living in Norway, the police from what I've seen, is pretty chill here.
The drunk guy is obviously a viking! He is from the north of Norway and is probably just a drunk fisherman!
They are normally a bit loud, but also mostly calm.
Wtf... This video has been out there, commented on for years, reviewed by hundreds and still you go on with this. It's amazing!
Yes, as many has said the culture in Northern Norway has this very colourful language with something that might seem like swearing, but probably not as much as some thing. You can't be a "Nordlending" without this kind of colourful swearwords etc lol.
0:56 Cop on the left ( black glasses) used to be my neighbor 🤣 He prolly still hates me...
This is from my home town, Drøbak - right outside Oslo. It's a pretty relaxed little town :) It's probably not this relaxed in Oslo :-)
Reminds me the policing in Finland. De-escalating is the word. 4 years schooling + 10 months field training. (somebody correct if I'm wrong).
The difference is the ability to determine how to react and behave, American Police is all brute force even when it's not needed. These 2 Norwegian Officers came to the scene, looked at the guy, determined that he is Intoxicated and most likely is not a Threat. They also realize that they are 2 grown Men vs 1 very Intoxicated Male. 10/10 Times this should never be a problem or have the chance to escalate to the point where Brute Force is needed. 1 Grabbed the leg and the other turned him to the side and holds/leans on him slightly. Situation handled, no need for force when you have evaluated the entire situation. American Police should really take note and learn from this. They forget that they are dealing with people too, regardless to what the person says or does it should never make you inflict unnecessary pain to someone else
They're not only "police officers", they've got a combined total of years in service (at the time of taping) of more than 45 years, as they're both - strangely enough - paired up as "innsatsleder", the officer basically in charge of the scene on a shift. So no surprise they're cool, calm and collected.
This guy reminds me of the guy in the video "Drunk Man Sings Bohemian Rhapsody From The Back Of A Police Car" ... < he did the whole song - pretty good! :)
A very important detail is that the suspect has a deep Northern dialect. And thats what makes this guy at least a 70% funnier watch for Norwegians. Its a colorful language.
For context and propably the best comparison I can make: Imagine a deep southern hillbilly american, piss drunk in New York lmao!
And most Norwegians have strong confidence and trust in the policemen.
