Law enforcement has about equally broad support, including from anti-federal-government groups (though not always the same ones that back the military, as their are pro-law-and-order anti-interventionist groups that aren't keen on military spending, and pro-military groups that are federal law enforcement as jackbooted authoritarian thugs.)

Unfortunately federal law enforcement has lost some of its support among the law and order crowd because of the perception that they are in bed with the political opposition.
