I think that is typical for most civilized countries where police can carry.

This is pretty extreme. One incident I was thinking of was a man who was actively cutting a woman he was holding hostage, but wasn't shot until he stabbed her fully in the chest. He was there slashing at the woman's face and neck, but the cops wouldn't shoot.

Civilized countries allow for self-defense & the defense of others, and this wasn't that. This was, what a lot of these policies do, support for criminality.

That's good. So the gun control happened earlier?

It happened decades earlier. This is what happened when socialist governments abound.
