I would suggest that the stories about 9/11 anti terror funds and police being outgunned are mere rationalizations. The police departments can have all of these weapons, the issue is how they are deployed and the consequences for violating the terms of engagement. If police officers were regularly sentenced to prison for killing puppies, for no knock raids, or killing innocents, then there would hardly be any controversy.
