The police have become increasingly militarized for decades. The same applies to ICE long before this border/sanctuary city brouhaha.

We'll need them to go into the White House and "fetch" Donny after he loses the election but refuses to leave!

PS: I don't expect any problems from the Secret Service, as they are, virtually to a person, real patriots, just like the USMS.
