Actually, the communists attempt to undermine law enforcement at every turn, paint local law enforcement as an evil that needs to be replaced, and then put into place a military police force or at the very least, federalize law enforcement power.

That’s the model in virtually every communist country on the planet.

By attacking local police and sheriffs you are actually playing right into the hand of the communist media and the agenda that was specifically designed by Marxists in the 1960s.

You will have a short life expectancy here.

Leftists try to eliminate any distinction between peace officers who actually follow the law and benefit the public, and tyranny-enforcement officers whose really interests undermine both the rule of law and the public good. It's unclear from the statistics how many officers of each type were killed.

It would be very interesting, for example, to know how many officers were killed while attempting to knock on their door and show them a warrant which was obtained on the basis of probable cause backed up by sworn statements relating the personal knowledge the person swearing to them(*)

I've read of many cases in which cops smashed into people's homes, assaulted the occupants, and in many cases slaughtered their pets, and claimed such behavior was necessary to ensure "officer safety". In some such cases, the cops in question get injured or killed (sometimes from "friendly fire", and sometimes by homeowners who identify the people smashing into their house as robbers). I strongly suspect that cops would be much safer if they conducted reasonable searches rather than violent raids; indeed, I don't think I've heard of any recent cases where cops conducting reasonable searches have come to harm.

(*) For some reason, courts don't seem to enforce the material in italics; though the Constitution's "oath or affirmation" requirement doesn't explicitly say that the oath or affirmation must relate to the personal knowledge of the person making the statement, the Constitution's requirement would be rendered meaningless if it could be satisfied by someone swearing under oath that someone who wasn't under oath said something.
