No country is perfect, and I'm not Norwegian, but the number of incidents is quite low.

Scaled up, it'd be like having 1,116 officers lose their jobs due to misconduct between 2005 and 2012. Visibility to the issue in the US was substantially different in that time period than now, but I think the population helps put an absolute number into perspective.
