OPINION:
It's because the governor/mayor wants to say this is Trump's world and that all these protests, riots and violence are due to him when the same thing happened even in Obama and prior presidencies. The governor/mayor are worse than Trump can ever be and this is before the pandemic and riots - I think Cuomo had a good thing going with how he handled the COVID-19 pandemic the last 2.5 month, but with his latest decisions and turning a blind-eye to the riots, looters, destruction; he erased anything good he did the last 2.5 months. These 2 clowns turned this city upside down the last 4+ years and who knows when they will stop. Even before the pandemic hit, us middle-class, working tax payers were in for a huge tax hit - now sky's the limit and they might even cut more of the city's budget including education, infrastructure, police, etc. Again, just my opinion and how I am seeing the downfall of this city by these 2 clowns.
Excerpt:cut more of the city's budget including education,
From my school of thought: the more stupid people on the streets the more danger exists..........
They might as well be rioting for all the "help" the mayors have offered
Good way of putting it. And after the outrage subsides, and the clean-up starts, whenever that may be, these same mayors will be crying for Federal help to get things back on track.
Seems like the mayors of all these places are doing nothing at all to protect those in their citys
All politicians are pandering to the BLM mob. They are deadly scared that anything they do will open them up to being called racist. "You're either with us or against us" is the mob rally right now, it's a very ugly situation.
Nobody is showing any leadership, it's pathetic. They even tried to make Drew Brees look like a racist. Drew Brees! This guy is the African American community's biggest friend and ally who has done more for New Orleans than any another single person.

Things are so f'd right now
Well stated!
And to go a step further, this "BLM movement" is also holding the cities hostage, as the pathetic city leaders are not only afraid of being labeled as racist, they're also afraid of more violence and looting will occur, if they don't cozy up to the rioters. It's downright insane......
