It's ALL citizen vs. citizen. The leftist citizens with 'power', instruct the compliant cop citizens with guns, to step on 'regular' citizens -- or civilians (see below). This will happen for as long as the regular citizens allow it.  Holding a sworn office in/for government doesn't involve giving up citizenship. There is a functional distinction made in the vernacular between sworn service members and non-service members -- sworn and civilian. What orders and preserves our country, states, counties, and cities? ... People? ... Or laws? Nemo est supra leges. No one is above the law. If there ARE some who live 'above the law', it is because the many who live 'under the law' ALLOW them to.
