This is the key point. There are cops that are good people and cops that are bad people, but overall, cops do what they're told for a paycheck.
Whoever controls the purse strings controls the identity of the police force. In most red and rural areas, the leadership is at least semi-reasonable, so cops are semi-reasonable.
In cities, and blue areas, cops will simply enforce whatever their Commie mayor wants. If that means arresting peaceful patriotic protestors, they will do as they're told (for a paycheck). If they're told to bend the knee to BLM criminals that would stab their kid in the back for a nickel, they will do that as well.
