Cops just represent the establishment. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy, other than people who are profiting from the corrupt system have the most incentive to remove a person that's causing disruption. I'm not even saying Trump was doing it intentionally, but, via the chaos brought by his administration, there was a lot exposed about our system. I think they wanted that spotlight gone, and it was in their own self-interest to do so.

Also, it wasn't meant to be a perfect analogy. None would be sufficient. It just gets the point across.
