Yikes. No need for that. The dude is a fascist, that's demonstrated by his actions / opinions. And that's enough to go on.

Cops are civilians. Elected officials are civilians. What are they even banning?

Quite interestingly, only US English definitions consider the police non-civilians, as opposed to the British and most of the world's definition.
Wonder why that might be.
