Yahoo News ^ | 11/13/15 | AFP

Oslo (AFP) - Norway's police, who have been authorised to carry firearms for the past year due to a heightened threat of Islamist attacks, will be unarmed again now that the threat level has been lowered, police said Friday.

National police chief Odd Reidar Humlegard told reporters the measure would take effect on November 17.

The country's 6,000 uniformed police officers will "have to keep their weapons locked in their patrol cars like they did previously," he said.

Norwegian police were authorised to carry their service weapons on their belts in November 2014 after the country's intelligence service PST raised the threat level because of the risk of an attack.

Yup, disarming the police will impress the Islamists [that Norwegians are stupid].

Great timing. Let a few thousand more “refugees” in while you’re on a roll.

It is so difficult to figure out.

When the police are unarmed the threat level is up.

When the police are armed the threat level goes down.

When the threat level is down there is no need for police to be armed.

So the police are then unarmed again.

Then, for some inexplicable reason, the threat level shoots right back up.

It really is a puzzler.....

I remember reading once that Swedes were Norwegians with their brains knocked out.

Now I think it’s reversed.

Have they ever had a terrorist attack? America, France, Spain, England, Netherlands, I believe are the countries that have had terror attacks in the First World Nations. I don’t think Norway is really that populated or even thought of for violence or terror attacks.
