Maybe it wouldn't have ended differently,maybe it would... my point is to give the police the tools they need to do the job.
I know that german police attend burglary calls with their guns drawn,as do French police,US police and probably other forces,too.... maybe that is what is needed?

No,they won't. However petty crooks already carry knives,Samurai swords and what not.... what do cops have to go up against such lethal weapons? Baton? Spray?
