Little baby .38 special was more than plenty for pretty much all Mexican and American cops for the better part of a century, but no, must have all the cool army man toys now.
China has special cop revolvers with a special low-power round that only works in those revolvers intended to be used by police who need a firearm but aren't serious counter-terrorism cops. The low powered round reduces the chance of killing anyone. The unique pistols and ammo are instantly traceable if found in the wrong hands. And criminals with guns is almost unheard of so in the rare cases they are used it's almost always against someone who is considered dangerous but doesn't actually have a gun.
3.) The wonder-9s that were a clear, unambiguous no notes improvement over any revolver only really showed up in the 80s
4.) And 4 cops didn't really consider killing people to be their primary job until post 9-11. They were always assholes but the "warrior cop" mentality is very recent. They just weren't as concerned with being caught in sustained gun fights bc they didn't have delusional trainers teaching them Killology.

1.) Cops didn't really kill that many people
2.) There weren't a lot of better options
