That is indeed worrisome. It's always worried me that there are "it all counts toward 30" LEO employees out there but I had no idea that estimates of the number could go high enough to be serious trouble -- and most surprising -- that there's blind, pro-government, no-matter-what belief and "anyone not fully supporting the government deserves whatever the government does to them."
That could complicate matters getting LEO cooperation..
If modern America's Man on Horseback is out there, Get on the damn horse already!
I think if the S really hits the fan, a lot of them will figure the odds and opt out. But as long as they think they have the upper hand a lot of them would be happy to oppress the citizens if the gov't told them to. I wonder what they think of all the guns and ammo flying off the shelves in the last year ?
