You clearly have no understanding of how the police work in European countries!

If you don't know that there are paramilitary police forces in Europe then you may apprise yourself of the information here:

Just linking to Wikipedia doesn't help your argument.

For The Netherlands, this includes two: KMar (who also secure airport like Schiphol) and DSI. It does not include for example regional AT (arrestatieteam, the equiv of a SWAT team).

Every time a Dutch police officer uses their gun on the field (so exercise is excluded), there's an internal investigation, by default. If that'd happen in USA, you'd have a huge dept. of internal affairs, lol.

France, Spain, Portugal, Italy - do they have a paramilitary police force that roams the streets or not?
