Norway police's chilled way with drunk wows US

Footage of the humorous, laid-back way two Norwegian policeman cope with a combative drunk has amazed American viewers after it was posted on the video-sharing website LiveLeak.
The footage from Nattpatruljen, a Norwegian police reality show, shows two policeman in Tromsø, northern Norway, good-naturedly picking up a drunk and taking him off to a drunk tank in the local jail. “I am not intoxicated for fuck's sake," the man shouts. "The fucking police are hunting me down. I get so fucking angry." To which the police laugh gently, and then apologize for ridiculing him. "You are a little funny right now," one explains. "Can I bring my dick with me?" the man then roars. "Yes if it hangs on," answers the policeman with a chuckle. "The American version would have ended with 16 gunshots at the 0:03 time mark," wrote one of he 70 commentators on the video. "With a taze at the 0:01 mark," wrote another. The video had been viewed 144,700 times by Friday morning.
