The administration sought unified control over all local police and state National Guard units reporting to the governor. Louisiana officials rejected the request after talks throughout the night, concerned that such a move would be comparable to a federal declaration of martial law. Some officials in the state suspected a political motive behind the request. "Quite frankly, if they'd been able to pull off taking it away from the locals, they then could have blamed everything on the locals," said the source, who does not have the authority to speak publicly. Uh, most of the blame DOES lie with the locals..

Exactly. Just why are the Feds having to ask to TAKE OVER on THIS Friday Night if last week is ALL the Feds fault as we are being told? If there is BLAME to assign, how can it be affixed to the people asking to TAKE OVER?
