The situation is one of going too far vs not going far enough. In US, we see the consequences of the mentality that allows law enforcement to go too far on a regular, pathological basis

I think the Finnish response to this was excellent because it demonstrates control and reason in an attempt to not abuse and go too far. The trade off for this approach is that you get things like the guy able to arm himself with the broom, but really that's a very small mistake compared to the massive abuses of US law enforcement due to the zero tolerance attitude

Not to mention that a gung ho US approach in these kinds of situations actually causes even more collateral damage. In Finland, it looks like the poliisi let a little bit of push come before a shove, in US we let the threat of a push turn into a beating. There are other important factors too like the knowledge that in Finland, the perp is very unlikely to have a gun, but in US that's not the case. I do find irony in people complaining about gun violence and police brutality. Bitches need to realize the inherent contradiction
