According to a relative of mine who is a detective on small municipal police dept says....

he is a republican but can’t support Trump this time. He states on FB that believes Trump will use the police as a second class citizen and props when he needs them. He went on to say that he believes that Trump will militarize the police which is a huge mistake.

I was shocked to see this post from him, because he has been a Trumper throughout the last 4 years!

It's not some pie-in-the-sky, never-gonna-happen, scenario. It's playing out right now in the country. What are you going to do if you get an order to move against your fellow citizens? Right now is the time to think about it and decide how far you're willing to go, and if you have a bright red line you won't cross.
