I do remember the police beating people for having the fake voting in Barcelona a couple of years back. Or the french police clashing with the yellow jackets.

What (some) european countries have is a much lower violent crime rate, which might jade perceptions either way.

I think European police is about as brutal and vicious when suppressing dissent (like yellow vests or the Catalonia thing) but significantly less likely to just murder you for fun when you're just walking on the street.
