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?

My assumption is that the political affiliation of police officers will largely match the ratio of the area.

Majority blue areas will see more Democrat police, majority red (rural) will see more Republican sheriffs.

This is born out by the data I was able to find, but I can't vouch for the veracity: http://verdantlabs.com/politics_of_professions/

Sheriffs and State Troopers are very majority Republican, police are barely majority Democrat.

I suspect that if we had individual data per region, the affiliation would track with the local politics, maybe with +2 R across the board, or something like that.

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.”

He didn't say it was wrong, just that it was evidence that they are Trump supporters.

But it is wrong, nonetheless -- it violates 4 U.S. Code § 7(c).

The irony that you’re missing is that many conservatives hold the flag to a very high standard. Standing on it, not pledging allegiance, etc. are wrong in their eyes. Look no further that Collin Kaepernick when he took a knee at the NFL. Then you have those same people (the “rule of law” people) turn around and ignore the Flag Code (never mind it not being enforceable) is quite ironic.
