Yes

criminals who also have ilitary equipment such as guns they police cannot defend thereselfs, however i do not think that the police should have acces to military equipment due to police brutatilty

Civilian crime does not need military grade technology this would further inflate the military industrial complex and increase the levels of state violence on the civilian population

I don't care if anyone agrees, I don't make the decisions, my opinion is not valid and we all know that

Police can deal with a seemingly low level incident which can develop to a major incident such as dealing with an OCG or a counter terror scenario in a matter of minutes and paired with being under equipped their ability to preserve life is greatly reduced.

Unless every single person can be completely trusted to not attack anyone or cause any crimes, complete removal of the police will never work to make a functional country.

The police occasionally need militaristic firepower to deal with large, unexpected incidents such as terrorist attacks. However, the police should not be allowed to use these resources for everyday policing or the policing of peaceful protests.
