That part of the comment wasn't meant to be directly applicable to this case. But it ties into this case indirectly. The police (and criminals) in America are relatively quick to point guns at people because both criminals and the police quite often do use their guns. Guns were drawn in this case, too, but they weren't fired. As Mr. Ving said to the cops, it could've been his son at the door with a video game controller in his hand who might actually have got shot.
From a Nordic point of view, guns drawn by the police is a rare occurrence. I remember going to my workplace (an office building) late in the evening once and triggering the alarm by not inserting some codes right or something. After a while, a police officer arrived. He was alone. The use of guns never entered anybody's mind. The policeman asked me some questions and I showed him my ID and my electronic key card. Then he left.
You could expect a similar response if you triggered an alarm here, but that's not what happened in this case.
How would the police respond to several calls of someone breaking into a home?
They'd probably send one patrol. I don't think they'd pull out a gun too easily.
