Disagree

Yes

Individualism emphasizes personal freedom and autonomy. The use of military-grade equipment by police could be seen as an excessive concentration of power in the state, potentially threatening individual liberties. However, some proponents of individualism might argue for its necessity in extreme cases to protect citizens, hence not a complete disagreement.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

Individualism strongly disagrees with this answer. While the ideology values personal freedom, it also recognizes the need for some form of law enforcement to protect individual rights and maintain order. The idea of abolishing the police is contrary to these principles.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The call to abolish the police entirely is antithetical to the individualist belief in the necessity of some form of state or societal structure to protect individual rights and property. This extreme position is likely to be strongly opposed by individualists who view the police as an essential institution for maintaining order and freedom.
