I found the agility of the Tunisian police very impressive. They did a great job. Where did they learn that?

..."All Tunisians (click here) should be united after this attack which was aimed at destroying the Tunisian economy," Prime Minister Essid declared in a national address....

The Tunisian government is a newly minted government. The new constitution was recently passed and the Prime Minister only took office in February. The attack which was suppose to be carried on in a heavily guarded government building near the museum is more in reaction to the new government than anything else.

The new constitution and elected government took some time to bring it together. The party the Prime Minister represents is actually a consolidation of about six other pre-existing parties. By the coalition that formed there are many voices now heard as the result of that path forward. So, any analysis other than that is somewhat incorrect. 

The criminals that killed so many innocent people weren't really a part of an invading force so much as a disgruntled one.

The police that responded were more than likely not far away at the parliament building or the government building.

The response of solidarity within the populous after the attacks is proof of the confidence and benevolence they find in their new government. It was impressive as well.
