Many European countries have standing police armed forces, closer to army national guards than blue shirted civilian police. They're for suppressing resistance forces and revolutionary uprisings, and they tend to fill roles of FBI too. I think that contributes more to normalization of MP5 ninjas fast roping down through your chimney for Internet crimes in Europe than law enforcement over-militarization had done.
