I know it's tempting to do the whole ”oh that's a problem over in terrible USA” (a very common european way of thinking) but I'd be careful about it.

Granted I think european police is less violent than US (a low bar), but to say that we don't have a problem with this at all is pretty naive. Just look at how french or swedish police have responded to black lives matters protests for example.

What are you referring to? I live in Sweden, and have not seen news regarding police brutality during the BLM protests.

Right now the French police is protesting against their own boss (minister of the interior, Castaner) because he went with the BLM narrative and basically called them racist.

Back during Sarkozy'sreign as President,there were riotscaused by the death of a coupe of youth being persued by police. So yeah, they have a problem in France. One that should be addressed.

I believe Sweden requires a bachelors degree and 2.5 years of training to become a cop. In the US it's just a high school diploma and 4 to 6 months of training depending the state.
