Is this some American joke I'm too Norwegian to get? Yes, because our police don't escalate, they don't serve as some political tool to harass people for political gains, but they are highly qualified since you only make it to police school if you have high marks in most subjects...

In the US, you could be ruled out of a position as sheriff if you score too high on a damn IQ test.

See a pattern here, yanks? The more intelligent, the higher their chances are of being stable and capable of having empathy.

But then again, you do live in a country where the police used an attack helicopter to bomb a housing complex...

So maybe try community policing for a while?

"How about no police"

Yes, yes, and no laws, right? And no military... surely all these things are great ideas.

It's probably apart of their internal strategy.

"Look, the consumer doesn't want to buy hardware anymore... so let's make Windows a cloud OS only! Subscription model and all! They'll love that!"

Foreshadowing: we will hate it and either buy Macs or use Linux.
