The tyrant always grasps at his faltering power.

How lovely. What are you trying to say?

I think it's pretty obvious but if you need for me to explain, sure. There is a lot of talk about defunding the police, which this article mentions several times, and this is most likely the reason for his outburst/musings. You see as a police officer he feels entitled to a certain amount of power in this nation and an unspoken ability to circumvent the law. Most authoritarians become authoritarians because they love the power they are awarded over people and when this power seems like it is about to be removed it's sort of like taking a 2 year olds favorite toy and putting him into a time out. The analogy that I'm giving isn't too far off, usually these kind of people never really achieve maturity in a way that they can accept things being taken away that they feel belong to them.
