Very strongly agree

Yes, and provide more training and education for police officers

Nixon would likely have strongly agreed with this statement. While he would have supported qualified immunity, he also would have recognized the importance of training and education for police officers. This aligns with his 'law and order' stance, as well-trained police officers would be more effective at maintaining order.

Strongly agree

Yes

Richard Nixon was known for his 'law and order' stance during his presidency. He likely would have supported qualified immunity for police officers as a way to maintain order and protect officers from frivolous lawsuits. However, there is no specific historical reference to Nixon's stance on qualified immunity, hence the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes, but only for officers that have a clean record of no complaints

While Nixon would likely have supported qualified immunity for police officers, it's unclear whether he would have made this contingent on a clean record of no complaints. He may have seen this as an unnecessary restriction on police officers, but also may have seen it as a reasonable compromise. Therefore, the score is a moderate agreement.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase the personal liability for misconduct

Nixon's 'law and order' stance would have made him strongly disagree with increasing personal liability for police misconduct.
