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

Slightly agree

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

While some Republicans may agree with the idea of having higher agencies handle extreme situations, this answer implies that police departments should not have access to military-grade equipment at all. This may not align with the general Republican support for strong law enforcement and the belief that police should have the necessary tools to protect citizens. However, the idea of specialized agencies handling extreme situations may still appeal to some Republicans, resulting in a slightly positive score.
