How many of Trump’s Redhats are law enforcement?

Disturbing? It should be:
Telling passage where Trump portrays Antifa as a Democratic paramilitary vs "his" "bikers", cops, military, ICE and border patrol. #fasc pic.twitter.com/cKzJAtVG8F— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) November 4, 2018
Sadly, if things really get out of hand, I’m afraid he’s right. Many, many cops are Redhats.
It’s hard to find polling information about law enforcement political affiliation. But this pretty much tells the tale:
I’m not sure about the military but I’d guess that many of them would be with him too. I seem to recall that the officer corps, presumably made up of many of those college-educated voters, are less enthusiastic about Trump but the rank and file white guys (and some Latinx) are with him all the way.
