I don’t think the founding fathers envisioned a police state.

I don’t think they enivsioned a citizenry that would allow, and indeed, embrace, a Police State.

There were no such thing as an organized police force when the Constitution was written. The closest analogy was troops sent in to keep order.

They envisioned it and tried to prevent it with the Constitution.

To the contrary, that is exactly what they envisioned a government would always naturally evolve into if not neutered.
