Makes sense that they require rifles to defend themselves from knives, knives are dangerous, probably best to defend yourself from 100 yards away.

Sounds less like defense and more like target practice!
pest control
Lol
a person can get hit multiple times with handgun rounds before they drop, if they are within 21 feet of you they can rush you with a knife before you can get your gun out, if your gun is already out they may be able to take a couple shots and still stick you before they drop, it's happened and is proven in practice exercises.
edit, by the way, I don't support your police militarizing themselves while not allowing people to p[protect themselves
look up "21 foot rule"
I am well aware of it, they already use that to justify shooting plenty of people who don't need to be shot, don't let them use it as an excuse to shoot those same people with rifles.
Consider that the police use a tactic called "magazine dumps" that they train in almost exclusively, they say it is for their own safety, because of the "21 foot rule" among other things but the real reason for cops to do magazine dumps is so that they kill whoever they are shooting because they don't want them to be able to testify against them.
A cop told me "you never want them to be able to testify even if you were in the right". Someday someone will figure all this out and do an analysis and conclude that the reason so many more people are killed by police is that the police started doing magazine dumps. I have a police range near my house, it sounds like all hell has broken loose once they start their magazine dump practice sessions.
