Strongly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

This answer aligns with the centrist ideology of finding a balance between opposing views.

Agree

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

This answer may resonate with some centrists, 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 departments to have access to military-grade equipment in certain situations, which may limit its appeal to centrists.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Abolishing the police is a radical position that does not align with the centrist ideology of finding a middle ground between opposing views. Centrists are more likely to support police reform and improved training rather than completely dismantling the police system.
