This country is 1000% more violent than Norway bruh.
Why? Who knows but it’s relevant as hell to this data.
Not only do Americans HAVE guns…. We use them. It’s a mix of super armed and super violent culture compared to other western countries.
Therefore you can’t trot out a simplistic comparison between our police and Norway’s without controlling for many more dangerous situations an American cop is going to see vs a Norwegian cop.
