I don’t know. I was part of the peaceful anti lockdown protests in Amsterdam and experienced seeing the police on horseback hitting protestors with batons and firing water cannon at them in the depth of the winter. And Netherlands police have much more training than US police. It has more to do with edicts from politicians (like the idiot mayor here) who issue these orders then stand aside looking like who, me?

It does happen, no police force is perfect. Police brutality still happens a lot more often in the US than in the Netherlands though (per capita of course, comparing raw numbers makes no sense).
