It became unironically true the second the police force was created. After the founding fathers. You won't find them complaining about police explicitly because cops didn't exist back then.

So, while we can say the founding fathers had no opinion of police, you can be damn sure they still understood the problems of unchecked authority and would've been adamantly against many of the protections police have today.
