Because of all the guns in America and the "Gun Culture"your police have to be armed.I don't at this moment feel our police either need to be or want to be.As to the average guy in the street being armed absolutely not.
There are so many aspects of American culture I do so admire. But this ownership of guns with it's so obvious (IMHO)flaws is not one of them.

Giving members of the public the power to enforce the law can't be right.In this case the guy was ex military so would have an element of self control.Average guy on the street wouldn't.Some might argue kill the guy anyway and rid the world of another scum bag.I just happen to believe in the rule of law and trained people in charge of fire arms.

I theorized many years ago that thousands of years of human slavery had selected for large numbers of submissive, weak-minded humans like Malvachat who can't imagine everyone having equal rights. I've seen it confirmed enough that I ought to write a dissertation.

Jeeze! I thought others would help malva become less stupid by pointing it out to him.

The Texas church shooter who killed 26 recently was ex military.

The men who chased him down and shot him weren't.

Took them long enough but they're finally coming around.
