There is a big difference in having weapons and tools available and when/how they are used.
If a couple guys decide to go on a murder spree with assault rifles and body armor, cops don't stand much of a chance with only a Glock. Heck, your typical inner city gangs carry more firepower than what a standard police officer has on them at any time.
