Why is it okay for police forces to have access to military technology/weapons?

Why is it okay for police forces across the US and this includes Europe too to have full access to military hardware but it is frowned upon for every day citizens to simply own a magazine fed rifle? Isn't the job of the police to simply uphold the law in society and police the populace? Why do the police have the right to get full access to weapons of war and military technology designed to kill people as efficiently as possible? Seems like double standard to me since everyday citizens are constantly having their gun rights questioned, threatened, or almost completely taken away like Europe countries yet police arsenals have expanded considerably.

oy vey cool it with the antisemitism.

The people you voted for do this because they fear the public.
Remember, only tyrants need bodyguards.

Conservatives wanted to militarize the police. You got what you wanted.

The militarized police force will be needed when the economy crashes. Its all part of the plan.
