I think it can be conditional - support local guys that are doing the right thing, sheriffs etc, support efforts against organized crime, but don't support fedrats and call out your guys when they overstep.
Strategically you don't have much of a choice. Even if ACAB you've gotta throw in your lot with whoever holds power in your town. But hopefully your sheriff is one of the good guys.
