Gerald R. Ford

Very strongly agree

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

This answer seems to align most closely with Ford's likely views. He would likely have supported police departments having access to military grade equipment, but also would have recognized the need for proper training and guidelines on its use.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

This answer seems to align well with Ford's likely views. He would likely have supported police departments having access to military grade equipment, but also would have recognized the need for such equipment to be used judiciously and only in extreme situations.

Agree

Yes

Gerald Ford, as a Republican president, generally supported strong law enforcement measures. However, the issue of police using military grade equipment was not a major topic during his presidency, so it's difficult to say definitively. He likely would have supported it to some extent, but perhaps not without reservations or conditions.

Slightly agree

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

While Ford likely would have agreed that specialized agencies should handle extreme situations, it's unclear whether he would have opposed police departments having access to military grade equipment for these situations. This answer seems to be somewhat in line with his likely views, but not entirely.

Disagree

No

Given Ford's general support for law enforcement, it's unlikely that he would have opposed police departments having access to military grade equipment outright. However, without specific statements or actions on this issue, it's difficult to say definitively.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Ford was a strong supporter of law enforcement and would have strongly disagreed with any proposal to abolish the police. This answer is completely inconsistent with his known views and policies.
