The Posse Comitatus Act is still relevant but not in the context you are using. Posse Comitatus does not in any way affect how the police can be armed. Only that the US military can not be used to enforce civil laws unless there is a waiver. PC is waived all the time, but each waiver is subjected to judicial review.
