Incorrect ...He's abdicated his responsibility.
The city mayor's have a police force and the governor's have their state national guard. They need to step up and use them to protect their citizens from mobs of rioters and looters.
Yep.
Local law enforcement is more than adequately outfitted to the point of militarization, at least that's some of what the protestors are saying, and the states have their national guard troops. If they wanted to stop any of this they could. They don't want the bad optics of those actions undertaken by their order on the 6 o'clock news.
If Trump did step in and, for instance, send in troops, he'd be castigated for it. He was roundly criticized for even the suggestion of calling in troops to quell the riots.
Here in Illinois, our esteemed Governor and Mayor of Chicago publicly said “He should stay out of our business".
In Illinois this is 100% on local government. They told Trump in no uncertain terms to piss off, while they sat and watched it burn.
Similar situation in Seattle, where the dumbass mayor referred to CHOP as "The Summer of Love", then stood back and let these loons do whatever they wanted, only now taking action after, very predictably, things went to total shit. Their bed. They can sleep in it.
Perhaps, but they are creating a political environment for the election. In spite of this all going on in blue cities and states, watch how they try to pass the blame to the President. "Look at all the protests and riots under President Trump!!!!" That's what we're going to hear, if they aren't hearing it already on CNN and like.
Sometimes I think they are allowing the burning down and destruction of their areas for that reason. Every one of these Mayors and Governors know if they call the President for assistance, he will have their cities back to near normal in less than 48 hours. So why don't they? Because it would make them look like the failures they are, and Trump the hero that moved in to save the day.

You don't have to think it sometimes...this is exactly what they are doing...
Before the riots there were polls showing Trump was over 40% approval in the Black community...... so, in order to change that, the democrats ordered the riots......they were simply waiting for an event and they chose the Floyd killing. They ordered out their antifa and black lives matter terrorist groups in an organized and coordinated attack in the democrat cities they control......
Expect more of this before the election...
Trump has never had 40% support in the black community. The Democrats ordered nothing. You are the animals who need to be put down.
You say that as the democrat party terrorist groups, antifa and black lives matter, burn, loot and kill in primarily Black neighborhoods.......
