It appears the local police have stood down since ordered to during riots. There is no benefit for them to police aggressively. Perhaps outsiders will put pressure on them.
So, what is this supposed to lead to?
The Feds are probably 10x harder to sue if there is a grievance. Or, maybe the perception is that if a Fed performs a violent arrest, Loretta can just sack him or transfer him elsewhere. “Fed have much more self control”.
I guess as long as nothing whatsoever is done to address the underlying causes or minimally, to lessen the crisis atmosphere of the current situation, a liberal good deed that can be lauded has been done. Cool.
