The utility that issuing guns to police officers provides to us more than compensates for the damage they cause when used irresponsibly. Using this accident as an example of why police should be prohibited from carrying guns would be ludicrous. It is just as ludicrous to use the toddler shooting his mom as an example of why people should not be issued conceal and carry permits.
Making judgement about guns requires looking at the utility and harm they provide in general, and then deciding if it makes sense.
