That's a common phrase in the U.S., don't know if it translates to anything in Norway. Basically, it's easy to point to past events and identify shortcomings that allowed a bad result. It's not so easy to anticipate bad results and fix existing systems to prevent those results.
Does the 22 July report suggest changes in the relationship between Law Enforcement and the general populace? In the U.S, the reaction (besides starting two wars) was to establish the Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Agency, and enacted the so-called Patriot Act. This strengthened government powers to intrude into private lives with less dependence on courts and warrants. It reduced the effect of our fourth and fifth amendments to the bill of rights. Is this the sort of thing that's desired by people in Norway?
The firing of the chief seems like good theater, and maybe it'll be followed by a more general purge of government officials, as you suggest. But has the firing improved anything?
It may, as you say, be time for new ideas. We have another saying in the U.S.: "be careful what you wish for, you might get it"
