I'm thinking it is illegal for a mayor or governor to deny equal application of the law to people they don't like.

I don't think you can legally pick and chose which laws you wish to obey.

No, you and I can’t. But ‘they’ can pick and chose which laws they wish to enforce and do all of the time. Obama/Holder openly ignored the Defense of Marriage Act signed by Clinton.

Ordering the police to ‘stand down’ during riots and vandalism of currently unpopular public and private property is justified as ‘deescalating tensions’. That’s what they’re doing in Seattle. If a non-leftist group were to barricade off a section of town—that’s completely different.
