Agree

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

The Liberal Democrats may somewhat agree with this answer, as they generally support specialized agencies handling extreme situations. However, they have not explicitly called for a complete ban on police using military-grade equipment, so their agreement with this answer would not be as strong as with other options.

Disagree

Yes

The Liberal Democrats generally prioritize community policing and de-escalation tactics over militarization. However, they may acknowledge that there could be some situations where military-grade equipment might be necessary, but this would not be their preferred approach.
