It doesn't matter what the heritage is or why it happens. It's entirely cultural. We're discussing necessity... And if police in one part of the world can disarm and subdue aggressors wielding makeshift blunt weapons without the use of firearms and without excessive casualties, then police anywhere in the world can do the same.
I understand why they have to carry guns, as so much of the population is armed. Carrying one doesn't mean they have to use it as their go-to response in any given situation, though.
