A meme featuring a crying police officer saying, "We are workers too! Have solidarity!" countered by a character with blue hair stating, "Cops are not workers. Unlike a worker, a cop breaking up a strike is not producing value for the capitalist class. Instead, cops are enforcing the structures of labor production themselves. This is a vastly different relationship of production than that of workers."

Absolutely. We don't need to do mental gymnastics to make reality fit with Marxian nonsense. It's completely possible to have different factions of workers with different interests in the real world. Cops are just one example, but there are others, albeit the conflicts tend to be more narrow.
