Seriously - you're going to have to provide more than just your assertions on such a ridiculous claim. This is on par with suggesting that Netherlanders are taught to drive with one hand on the wheel and one on an open bottle of hard alcohol, at night, with the lights off, while speeding through residential neighborhoods, and one foot out the window (without seatbelts of course).

I cannot think of a single logical reason why they would train their police force in tactics which would endanger the officer as well as the general public.
You can believe whatever the hell you want, but its the truth. They dont need to train warning shots - its just up in the air and doesnt take skill. The SOP in the danish police is indeed to shot people without firearms in the leg - if they pose a medium risk.

There were some major riots in a Copenhagen area back in 1993, where rebels throwed rocks at the police. 113 shots were fired by the police without anyone getting killed - warnings shots and leg shots mostly.

Some of it were caught on tape: YouTube - 18. maj 1993 Nørrebro
