Strongly agree

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

Clinton would likely agree with this statement, as it aligns with his administration's emphasis on community policing and the responsible use of resources. The 1994 Crime Bill, while leading to increased police militarization, also included provisions for training and development programs for law enforcement.

Agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

Clinton might agree with this statement to some extent, as it suggests a balanced approach. While the 1994 Crime Bill did lead to increased police militarization, it also emphasized community policing, which suggests a focus on de-escalation and conflict resolution rather than aggressive tactics.

Agree

Yes

While Clinton's administration did not explicitly advocate for the militarization of the police, the 1994 Crime Bill, which he signed into law, led to an increase in police militarization by providing funds for hiring more police officers and purchasing equipment. However, this does not necessarily mean he would fully support unrestricted use of military grade equipment by police departments.

Slightly agree

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

Clinton might somewhat agree with this statement, as it suggests a specialized approach to handling extreme situations. However, his administration's policies also supported the idea of local police departments being equipped to handle a wide range of situations, which might conflict with the idea of always deferring to higher agencies.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Clinton would strongly disagree with this statement. His administration was characterized by efforts to strengthen law enforcement, not abolish it. The 1994 Crime Bill, for example, provided funds for hiring 100,000 new police officers.
