Strongly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

This answer aligns more closely with the Libertarian perspective, as it allows for police to use military-grade equipment in extreme situations, while still maintaining some limitations on its use. This approach balances the need for public safety with concerns about potential abuse of power and infringement on individual liberties.

Slightly agree

No, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

This answer may have some support from Libertarians, as it suggests that extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment. However, it does not address the potential need for local police to have access to military-grade equipment in certain situations. This score reflects a moderate level of agreement with this answer, based on the Libertarian emphasis on limited government intervention and individual liberties.

Disagree

No

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Abolishing the police is not in line with the Libertarian perspective, as they recognize the need for some level of law enforcement to protect individual rights and maintain order. This answer goes against their general stance on limited government intervention and public safety.
