There was as many arrests at just one horse racing event in England that weekend! I think a lot of it though is due to people appreciating the effort put into an event and being able to socialise together without excessive conflict which English party people no longer do as much.
One thing I noticed about the films was how many people were from different ethnic groups all partying together peacefully, whereas I’d heard a lot of different stories about mainstream life in DK not being as multicultural as England..
As a contrast for the Notting Hill carnival in London they use 30 000 police officers from Scotland Yard, the cops are less harsh than originally they were 20-40 years ago but there is serious problems with gangs trying to start fights there – cops have to go round most of London the week before rounding up the gangs and weapons..
