No. I'm in total disagreement as well. You need to assess more information than simply whether or not they are armed. Using lethal force requires a reasonable belief that your life or the life of a fellow officer is subject to the imminent threat of death or bodily injury.
If I'm a cop and you're resisting with a gun in your possession, there's my reasonable belief. You're dying.

Careful there Tex. You may spend the rest of your life in jail.

Just know that you'll have to defend it twice - once on paper and once more in court. You'd better hope that there's video which matches your description.
I can resist by saying frick You with a gun in my holster. I can resist by going limp and not let you cuff me. Shooting me in response to these actions could easily get you charged with some level of murder.

Unfortunately, there are a some cops out there with this belief who do not attend to other factors.

There has to be a better way and it's lazy to not find it, develop it, teach it and live it.

This is the attitude that is getting cops killed
