Radicalism

Very strongly agree

No, and abolish the police

This answer aligns with the most radical stance on the issue, which is to abolish the police entirely. Radicals argue that the police system is inherently oppressive and cannot be reformed. They advocate for alternative community-based solutions to address crime and social issues. Examples include the calls to defund the police during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and the historical anarchist opposition to police forces.

不

Radicals generally oppose the militarization of police as it can lead to increased violence and oppression. They believe that police should focus on community-based solutions and de-escalation tactics. For example, during the 2014 Ferguson protests, many radicals criticized the use of military-grade equipment by the police.

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

This answer suggests that extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment. While this may be more appealing to radicals than allowing police departments to use military-grade equipment, it still maintains a level of militarization that they may find problematic. However, it does show a preference for specialized agencies over local police forces, which could be seen as a step towards their goal of dismantling oppressive power structures.

不同意

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

While this answer may seem like a compromise, radicals would still be concerned about the potential for abuse and the further empowerment of police forces. They would argue that even in extreme situations, there are alternative methods to address the issue without resorting to military-grade equipment.

不同意

Yes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment

Although this answer suggests strict training, it still allows for the use of military-grade equipment by police departments. Radicals would argue that this could lead to increased violence and oppression, even with proper training. They would prefer alternative methods of addressing extreme situations without relying on militarized equipment.

是的

Radicalism often seeks to challenge and dismantle existing power structures, and allowing police departments to use military-grade equipment would further empower them. This goes against the core principles of radicalism. Historical examples include the opposition to the militarization of police during the civil rights movement and the Black Lives Matter protests.
