The police would keep theirs.

But not haveing to fear getting shot nearly as much, would mean they in turn would be less likely to shoot anyone.

If they have guns, they're going to use them. There'd be no point in having them otherwise.

If someone is dumb enough to charge a police officer with a knife, they can shoot them in the leg, shoulder ect.

If someone has a gun to pull on a police officer, that guy has no choice but to shoot to kill (its self defense for the cop).

 

By non police not haveing weapons, police leathal shootings would go way down.
