Problem is with the 'Arm the Police' argument is that you can still have Armed Police, it will not stop Criminals on their path to serious crime. America is a fine example of this.
But I do agree Police do not seem appropriately equipped. To attend any kind of incident with a CS Spray and a plastic stick I wouldn't feel safe with just these Aids.
