New Recruit
Hi there baby.. How's Delhi these days ? Stay safe.....
Nah... Just die..
shut you hole you filthy indian scum..
. Calling me by names just shows that I was quite right in my last post.
There has been a remarkable increase in interest worldwide how Norwegians run their police system. So much that even the great Washington Times had to run an article on which received widespread acclaim. This article is currently on the top most reading list in the papers international section:
The Norwegian government recently released statistics about how the country's police department used guns in recent years, painting a picture of a nation where police officers rarely draw their guns and rarely injure anyone with those guns.
The report found that in 2014, Norwegian police threatened to use their weapons 42 times. However, only two shots were actually fired during the entire year, and no one was wounded by either.
The report also featured historical data showing that the number of times police officers had drawn their weapons was at its lowest in at least 12 years.
Number of times Norwegian police officers threatened to use their guns
The number of shots fired was also lower than in some previous years.
The number of people wounded (zero) was lower than the previous year, and lower than the recent high of five in 2004.
And for the 10th time in 12 years, not a single person was killed by police gunfire in Norway in 2014.
To American readers, these numbers might sound shocking. Consider this: Even in 2011, when 77 people, mostly children, were killed by right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, police fired their guns only once and injured one person (Breivik himself surrendered to armed police without police firing a shot).
There's a simple reason for the lack of police shootings. While there are many hunters in the country and gun ownership is relatively common, Norway is one of a handful of European nations where police officers don't usually carry guns. Breivik's rampage at a children's summer camp led some to question whether this was a good move (among the first to die was an unarmed police officer working security at the camp). The government recently hinted that it may consider arming more police officers.
Things are, of course, very different in the United States. While the country is far larger than Norway (318 million vs. 5 million) and nationwide figures are rarely announced, police shootings are clearly disproportionately common: By The Post's count, more than 400 people have been shot and killed by police already this year.

New Recruit
This World and life is to short to fight , This whole world is beautiful in its own wayLazy Police
Come to UP or Bihar, Police has atleast two type of guns one official which doesnt work, other is unofficial, which works all the time
Yes they need to fire 10 to 12 bullets on daily bases for practise security's concerns are rising it's stupid to remain in delusion of peaceful world that exists only in bed time stories
still we never lost our entire country against any one in a matter of weeks HINT; WW2
While we r succeeding where yr entire NATO failed ie against TALIBAN. Not only that but we r the reasons why yr NATO and America ran away from afghanistan and so did Russia before.
We basically made USSR Russia with the help of America but made US of A to America with their own American money.Isnt that a work of genius? U defeat a superpower by its own money and weapons.
We switch sides when our interests are met from one side, after all its all abt national interests. A country of our size and importance in global affairs has to play according to her own rules if she needs to survive.
then tell yr own media and country to remain in its place and stop shoving yr principles down others throat who dont even believe in them.@Umair Nawaz For Past Few days you are continuously trying to Disrespect Scandinavia , i dont know Whats your Problem , Norway achieved this greatness , because of its people who worked really hard , used their resources well , after world war 2 Norway was totally destroyed but people stood together rose up to new heights. If today Pakistani come together , instead of division they unite and work for Pakistan , Pakistan can achieve marvels no one will be more happy than us
@Norwegian I don't Disrespect Pakistan or Pakistani members because no matter where em from . i have connection with that Place i love it as i love norge, Every Country faces problem , Nations building cant be done in matter of days it takes time decades to build up , Look at the past history the problems Pakistan faced if that happened to any other country it would have been total in chaos, E.g Iraq , Libya , Syria etc
@Emilly David Every Country has its own goods and bads
So guys stop fighting it is Ramadan Btw
No one is shaving anything down your throat , When some Country have relation with other country , obivisly they gone discuss other countries problems or dissensions regarding the country , or any thing new happening in that place , or whats the news
Our throat!
