The police hold a monopoly on violence within the State as is, therefore there need to be strict limits to what force they can use. Militarization only escalates the risk of unnecessary force.

Why should our gardaí be armed to military grade? Are they encountering situations whereby individuals are armed with the aforementioned grade equipment? It would be a substantial excessive force.
