Do we need more (fire) armed police?

Nah I'd keep it stashed properly and only draw in case of emergency. Dude calm your tits. You don't need to agree with everything I say but I have right to have my own opinion just as you do.

...And there should be rigoristic tests before approval for gun is awarded.

There are.

Unless someone else was shooting at you with a gun who weren't the police you would go down for murder, manslaughter or GBH as it would be unreasonable force.

They were endangering life though so police made good call.

Sadly police shooting in the USA seems to be racist.
