The difference being both Singapore and Norway are polite societies. They are also societies where contributing to the overall welfare of everyone is paramount.

In a crony capitalist society like the US, where the police mainly protect the gated community class, and contributing to the overall welfare of everyone is frowned upon. Neither of those policing programs would work.
