In Amsterdam, the cops are generally quite well. Can't say otherwise, one of my friends is on the force. I can only recant two incidents where I was less then happy with police-support:
1: During a barfight. Big fellow, cokehead, came at a friend with two shattered glasses. Another friend stopped him, got glass in his hands but we managed to wrestle him down against the bar and keep him there (you guys know me and my size, my friends are the same and it still took 4 of us to keep him down). The police was outside this whole time, and they were waiting outside for back-up while we, civilians had to keep this raging gorilla pinned down to the floor...
2: Outside a pub. Me and two others, one of which was incredibly drunk were sitting on a bench waiting for the rest to come out. We were quietly waiting when an officer urged us to move away or he'd arrest the drunk guy the second time he would make his round and we'd still be there. That was a little overzealous I thought...
