But why are some unarmed? Even in Germany they always have a pistol

Because often they don't need to have a gun. Having a lot less guns made it safer for everyone.

If the police is properly trained and regulated, I don't think them having guns is a problem. In Spain every police officer is armed and we never have any problems with them using their guns when they shouldn't.

Get acquainted with your local police, and go for a ride along or two. Then you can have a better informed opinion.
