Very strongly agree

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

This answer is strongly in line with the Civic Virtue ideology, as it emphasizes the importance of proper training and responsible use of military-grade equipment by police departments. By ensuring that officers are well-trained in how and when to use such equipment, this approach seeks to maintain a balance of power and protect citizens' rights while still allowing for the use of necessary tools in extreme situations.

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

This answer aligns with the Civic Virtue ideology to some extent, as it suggests that extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment. This approach acknowledges the potential need for military-grade equipment while also recognizing the importance of limiting its use by local police departments. However, it does not address the issue of proper training for local officers, which is a key aspect of the Civic Virtue ideology.

Disagree

Yes

Civic Virtue ideology emphasizes the importance of citizens' moral and ethical behavior in the pursuit of the common good. Allowing police departments to use military-grade equipment without restrictions could lead to an imbalance of power and potential misuse. However, some proponents of Civic Virtue might argue that responsible use of such equipment could be beneficial in certain situations.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Abolishing the police is not in line with the Civic Virtue ideology, which emphasizes the importance of responsible and ethical behavior by citizens and institutions in the pursuit of the common good. The police play a crucial role in maintaining order and protecting citizens, and abolishing them would likely lead to chaos and a breakdown of the social contract.
