^I don't know if they check for political background in the DK police, but I do think that the leaders of the police are right-wing (not ultra-rw, but the police boss ran for office for the danish party 'Venstre', which is the right-wing party that came up with all the terror- and 'bully' laws) and the signals they send to the policemen of course reflects that. And I think that all the mechanisms we know from social studies during the years about 'group-think' and so on, are happening right now - the individuakl policeman gives up his/her own morals in order to belong to the group and act like a 'real' policeman, which apparently now means being violent and brutal. Because the system allows such behaviour

Also I think the policemen are scared, which means they overreact and obuse their power this way - approved by the government and their bosses, so noone is regulating their fearful behaviour. Ridiculous.
