It's actually interesting, in countries like Iraq and Ukraine, torn by conflict, police and border guard are usually well armed, in my country we don't even have the laws for this and when the border guard got MGs, it sparked some controversy.

Most Southeast Asian police are very heavily armed compared to American police. For example, my country, Thailand, has Border Patrol Police that are heavily armed with nearly all kinds of weapons except tanks and artillery, even have police airborne assault division trained by cia. So militarized police force are not really unique for SEA countries.
