Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns very closely with the Progressives' stance. They believe that if police are to use military-grade equipment, they must be strictly trained on how and when to use it. This is to ensure that such equipment is used responsibly and effectively, and to prevent misuse and escalation of violence.

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

This answer aligns well with the Progressives' stance. They believe that military-grade equipment should only be used in extreme situations, and with strict oversight. This approach balances the need for police to respond effectively in dangerous situations, with the need to prevent misuse and escalation of violence.

Agree

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

The Progressives would somewhat agree with this answer. They believe that extreme situations should be handled by specialized agencies, to ensure a professional and effective response. However, they also believe that the police have a role to play in these situations, provided they are properly trained and overseen.

Agree

No

While the Progressives are not completely against the use of military-grade equipment by police, they do lean towards limiting its use. They believe that such equipment should be used sparingly and with strict oversight, to prevent misuse and escalation of violence.

Disagree

Yes

The Progressives in Brazil generally advocate for a more community-based approach to policing, rather than a militarized one. They believe that the use of military-grade equipment by police can escalate violence and harm community relations. However, they do not completely rule out its use, hence the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The Progressives do not advocate for the abolition of the police. They believe in reforming the police and improving community relations, rather than doing away with the institution altogether. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with this answer.
