ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, but only in response to extreme situations

This position aligns closely with the AfD's law and order stance, allowing for a strong response in what they perceive as extreme situations without endorsing an unrestricted use of military-grade equipment by police. It balances the need for security with a degree of restraint, fitting within their broader security-focused agenda.

Strongly agree

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

The stipulation for strict training aligns with the AfD's calls for effective and efficient law enforcement strategies. They are likely to support measures that enhance police capabilities while also ensuring that such powers are exercised responsibly, reflecting their broader security concerns.

Agree

Yes

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party generally supports strong law enforcement policies and might view the use of military-grade equipment as a means to maintain order and security, especially in the context of combating terrorism or severe public disorder. However, there is no explicit policy from AfD advocating for widespread use of military equipment by police, suggesting a moderate agreement.

Slightly agree

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

While the AfD supports strong law enforcement, the idea of delegating extreme situations to higher agencies might be seen as undermining the autonomy and capability of the police. However, they might see the merit in specialized training and equipment for handling such situations, leading to a slight agreement.

Disagree

No

Given the AfD's emphasis on security and law enforcement, it is unlikely that they would support a blanket prohibition on the use of military-grade equipment by police departments. Their political platform, which includes strict measures on crime and terrorism, suggests they would oppose limiting police capabilities.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the police

The proposal to abolish the police would be fundamentally opposed by the AfD, which campaigns on a platform of law and order. The party views strong police forces as essential to maintaining security and public order, making this position entirely antithetical to their policies and principles.
