Two Wisconsin police officers were killed in a shootout Saturday. Both were from towns of less than 5,000 people.

There was an update to the story on the local news show yesterday to name the victims and deceased perpetrator: https://archive.ph/dr06R
In my unfortunate state of mind, I thought briefly about the regressive takeover of US institutions and got to wondering if we will eventually see mostly leftist rank-and-file police officers.
There have been a few stories posted recently of police scandals or selective enforcement, but many were from Canada or the UK. It seems that those places already have mostly true believers on patrol.
In the US, we clearly have some issues of what gets prosecuted and punished, and I believe some cities are or will be changing policies and standard police practices for EqoOtY reasons. I guess I don't know if the officers themselves are or will be compliant with some of that, especially if it ends up killing them.

That’s certainly a frightening prospect, but very much in line with the right-left split on local control vs centralized control more generally.
To put it simply, black women who become cops do not change their political orientation. They have been pushing already for a long time for the demographics of the cops to match the community. At that point, the cops will be leftists, if they aren't already. In many big cities you already have huge amounts of black cops, if not an actual majority. I'm guessing they're still democrats.
Look at what's happened to our military. And look at what's already happened in progressive megacities. It's absolutely at least a possibility that regressives seize law enforcement institutions too. To some extent they already have.
On the plus side, the military being fully staffed by leftists makes future 'changes in management' A LOT easier.
'See ya honey, just going to overthrow he government, be back before evening and I'll grab milk on the way back'
Yup. Although there's pros and cons to everything. A more right-leaning military would still mostly follow orders, and oppress you. A leftwing military will gleefully torture the shit out of you, if you have the wrong opinions, skin color, sex, political affiliation, religion, etc.
But, as you said, also easier to handle, less competent, less capable. But if they ever get a little bit of power over you, you're fucked.
You do realize the “police union” is a full leftist organization? Leftists have been in charge of city police for decades and the results show. What will be concerning is when leftists go for elected law enforcement like sheriffs in rural areas.
I would understand that they vote for democrats out of self interest (more government revenue from higher taxes, more support for public unions, and coincidental greater needs for police "presence" in cities). I just don't think they are overly concerned about things like gender and race politics yet.
I guess I'm imagining the potential for hyper-partisan people to start taking up the ranks.
They'll get taken over, but because is full of leftists, they'll be too scared to enforce so they'll lose more and more authority until redundant. That's the current case with the UK as them targeting social media more isn't just ideological bias enforcement, they're SCARED to handle criminals willing to fight back. If the public also fights back themselves, then that's the end of the police it's just crossing that rubicon.
In Canada it seems different as the government there actively encourages suicide so the police there seem more inclined to be a bit more...'culty'
I can see that backfiring already as the hellscape that is California is what happens with limited enforcement. Plus while I think it's easier to get ideological judges in the US thanks to how they are put in place there, don't think it's same elsewhere so that's a limiting factor.
eventually?
Look at who they bowed to, and who they trampled.
Look at how they've purged their ranks of the 'unvaxxed'
Look at how they are one of the biggest unions, public sector to boot.
They are already subverted.
Yeah they are already a long way along. They just don't hire white males.
