The Trump rally was expected to draw well over a hundred thousand people, and would likely have attracted counter-protesters. Those facts alone would normally require an increased police presence. Then when you add-in specific intelligence that some people are threatening violent actions, the paltry police presence becomes almost inexplicable.
UNLESS the idea was to let violence happen in order to discredit Trump and his supporters. Or UNLESS Bowser was expecting the violence to come from her thugs on the left, and she was trying to protect them.

"The The DC mayor and DC police have zero control over the DC Guard. Zero. As in none. If the president wants the DC Guard activated, then they are activated."
Are you sure about that? All last summer, we heard stories of Trump suggesting that the National Guard be deployed, and Democrat mayors and governors refusing.

Trump would not activate them without the courtesy of local consent.

Yes, I am sure. But remember this article is talking about the DC National Guard. The president - and only the president - has authority over the DC Guard. No one else can call them up, or order them to stand down.
But when it comes to the states, you are right. The governors have considerable authority there. They can act in their own. And as you noted, many Democrat governors refused to use the Guard during the riots.

The Mayor and District officials were joined at InvestDC by Gwendolyn Cardno, Deputy Consul General, U.S. Consulate General Shanghai and DC’s development community, including Urban Atlantic, Forest City, Roadside Development, and Level2 Development. The purpose of the Mayor Bowser’s trade mission is to create District jobs by increasing trade and Chinese investment in DC.
