No

Yes, only in situations that need it with qualified officers that have training and know when to use.

The so called “militarization” of the police simply keeps the police more protected, it also give weapons that the military doesn’t need a place to be used. At the end of the day it’s saving the lives of MANY people. i.e hostage situation

The police are here to keep society in check so if need be military equipment it should be very available to them because terrorist attacks and large scale crimes do happen so we don't want to demilitarize them

police should be able to use guns cause there is people that will shoot at police to make sure they dont get caught

if we dimilitarize thje police we will be less able to stop possible terror attacks or threats on the canadian citizens. by making them less capable, we will be less secure and safe from terrorists or people that have intentions to commist terror attacks

police dont even get paid enough they dont need to deal with more things that make their life harder

The Police have been crucial in keeping us safe. We should make a set of rules for them that they should keep instead of demilitarizing them.

If the police are not able to defend themselves adequately, how are they supposed to defend to the people and our country?

i think that it is more useful for the police to have weapons and other brutal methods of defence just incase a person tries attacking them so they can defend themselves and the people
