Yes. Called Michael Brown.

The police in the US seem to be pretty trigger happy - not all of them of course, but certainly but some.  People join organisations like the army and the police for different reasons and some join to help their fellow citizens, protect king/president and country but some join because they like power. 

The several recent dubious killings of black people, the numerous posts claiming police call dogs - stray or otherwise over and then shoot them at point blank range for no reason whatsoever etc testify to at least some reason to be very careful about letting the police carry guns, let alone the general public as they do in the US - what a weird society that is.

So far not having armed police has worked pretty well for us.  Until and unless things change drastically I would be against it unless there was a specific incident where they needed to be armed.
