Law enforcement redundancy

I’m wondering if police unions (and their law enforcement members) will continue to support President Pedo? These unions represent law enforcement officers in matters related to their employment, including wages, benefits, working conditions, and disciplinary procedures. They negotiate collective bargaining agreements with police departments, influencing policies on staffing, overtime, and even the use of force. In addition to collective bargaining, they also engage in political advocacy, lobbying for legislation that supports law enforcement interests and public safety.

When they find they are being supplanted by national guardsmen and (ultimately) the military in general, they may see jobs, salaries, perks, pensions and leverage evaporate. Essentially, they become non-essential. Why should towns, cities and states use taxpayer money to fund their own police protection when President Pedo will supply them military “law enforcement” at “no cost.” [This answers the question: What are we going to do with current ICE agents when all the immigrants have been deported?]

I hope there will be a time when listing "ICE" as a former employer on one's CV results in immediate non-consideration.
