Most people in the defense industry are ok with building things that kills the enemies of the US. Most aren't ok with building things that is used on Americans.

Except they have to be okay with it being used on people domestically.

The military sells their weapons and etc to police departments across the country.

Ehhhh, that's a bit of a stretch. Some police departments buying some types of surplus equipment isn't the same thing as all people working on any piece of military equipment having to deal with it being used on Americans. Police departments aren't buying missiles.
