Nah those guys are getting 90k+ per year, almost best employee benefits in the city (after our sanitation guys), and a few other things.

Sluggish selection is a good question. If you look at a video of this incident, the Swedish cops on vacation broke up the brawl professionally and nobody got hurt.

Then and now, multiple people I've spoken with have expressed sincere doubt NYPD would have treated them as cleanly.

90k? That's quite a lot (I guess). Surely more than I would've expected. Why the good pay? Aren't they also greatly insured as gov employees?

Hm, yes. I'm no Swedish but those are the kind of cops I know. Professional de-escalizers, not trigger-happy lunatics with a short fuse.
