Police are trained to obey orders. That comes before allegiance to the Constitution. When a corrupt democrat administration tells them to do something, they have a choice: obey or get fired. Most obey.

Since the police are an extension of the power of the civilians in public office, there is much to be feared here. They have the power to detain and injure individuals. When the civil authorities use the police to enforce a political agenda, we lose all rights.

Re-read The Federalist Papers. Modern police forces are the "standing armies" that the Founders warned us against.

In the 18th Century, the King's Redcoats were law enforcement. Their primary job was to enforce the king's will.

In a free society, the people were supposed to act as militia/posse to safeguard their communities, catch criminals, and bring them to the Sherriff or Magistrate.
