the normal police force are not, but there is a People's Armed Police that handles escalations and reports to the military, not the civilian command structure
SWAT is generally a part of the usual command structure of the domestic police, not a part of the National Guard. That being said, even regular cops are armed fo the teeth in the U.S. I had a friend have like 4 M16's pointed at them when they had tried to commit suicide.

:amerikkka-clap: you want to die and that's against the rules, so we'll shoot you dead if you try it.
Only the state is allowed to kill you for things like shoplifting, loitering, being the wrong race, and so on
I would assume it's much more like British armed police
