Looks like both of those cases involve armored vehicles that can carry police officers into situations where they are being fired upon. None of them had operational weapons that I could see nor described in the articles Can't speak for all cases & I'm by no means an expert, but if I had to arrest a group of armed criminals shooting at me I'd be glad to have the protection.
The last paragraph says it all.
"adding "the equipment itself doesn't make police militarized. It's what we do with the equipment that does or does not."
