The Chief's comment that even if they had 10,000 officers they could not have prevented this is a lie and a weak excuse.

He should be fired on the spot for a stupid statement like that. It shows he had no intention of doing anything to hinder the thugs.

he had no intention of doing anything to hinder the thugs.

Since the arsonists were not 'home grown' and since the Chief, the Mayor and Governor seemed to have no plan, or even desire, to prevent this, I sense a setup for political purposes.
