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.

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.
