Disagree

Yes

Reformism generally seeks to improve existing systems through gradual change. Allowing police departments to use military-grade equipment without restrictions may not align with this ideology, as it could lead to an escalation of force and potential abuse of power. However, some reformists might see a limited role for such equipment in specific situations.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

This answer is strongly opposed to the reformist ideology, as it calls for the complete abolition of the police. Reformism seeks to improve existing systems through gradual change, not to dismantle them entirely. Abolishing the police would represent a radical departure from the reformist approach.
