This is true, but the American populace is still highly armed. If it did come down to some kind of a civil war with the police vs civilians, the police would find themselves in a precarious situation. Fighting an insurgency against a heavily armed population is impossible when the military does it in another country - how would the police manage?
And lurking in the background is the real 'might makes right', the US military which is far more diverse then police departments. The US military would just bomb every police precinct into oblivion.
That's why I think radicalizing soldiers is low key a great idea. Officers will never be radicalized, but they're such a tiny fraction of the armed forces.
