Here's the rub in all of this. The police aren't and never were in our sides. If this thing turns to a civil war, the military won't be on our side either. We are operating on a false premise, that the majority of the law enforcement / military community will or does support us.
Thats not to say that retired members of both organizations do not; they do, and probably overwhelmingly so. The active duty military and the current law enforcement? No.
Here's a faulty premise i see a lot: in the event of forced gun confiscation, the military / police will refuse, or that media attention will become so negative due to the number of citizens who die during the confiscation, that your average American will say enough is enough. Another faulty premise is that the American citizen, the largest "army" on Earth will, through grit and determination, be able to fight the military to a standstill, eventually achieving a Pyhrric victory once other Americans have had enough.
These other conflicts which we compare these future events to (Vietnam, the Mujahadeen or the Iraqi insurgence) had one thing in their favor that we will not have: the total support of the media on their side to demonize the horrible white conquerors invading the lands of the peace living brown people. That is a support that we will not share, being, in the minds of the media, horrible white rednecks clinging to our guns, our bibles, and our white supremacy.
This is why social media is so important; which is why YouTube, Twitter and Google censor the news, just as they will censor the news of any uprising.
I'm not a defeatist. I see the path to our victory, but i don't think that working with law enforcement and the military is a part of that path. Their victory is the status quo: work, peasent, consume, vote, pay tax, stay asleep. Our victory is something else, something that goes beyond simply making our voices heard, as at this juncture, words don't suffice. Read into that what you will.
If there's any doubt to what i said, think of the enforcement differences between BLM riots and businesses opening.
