I can imagine animosity from the leadership, for example classifying most journalists as "fake news", contributing to violence from the front line against them.

You're assuming most cops support Trump?

Yes. It's anecdotal at best, but all of the 6 cops I know have either "Trump 2020" or "Trump No More Bullshit" or (my personal favorite) "Trump Making Liberals Cry Since 2016" flags flying above the US flag at their homes.

My baseline assumption is a vast majority of police/sheriffs/troopers support Trump. Is this incorrect?

>> "Trump Making Liberals Cry Since 2016" flags flying above the US flag at their homes.

I'm having a hard time understanding why this is wrong?

EDIT: "Meh, I'm not going to try and explain it, I'll just downvote it." Bravo. B R A V O.

Ignoring the antisocial aspects of the wording, the U.S. flag code indicates the national flag should always be the highest in a display.

“When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag’s right.”
