This break out was triggered in a Liberal city that has a Black police Chief, within a Democrat controlled state. Republicans had no role.
It is being spread by Democrat voters, tearing up & looting Democrat areas, controlled by Democrat law enforcement leaders, mayors, & city councils. Republicans have no role in this.
There are a few rare exceptions, but those are mostly under control, & have not seen near the level of looting & damage 95% of the Dem areas have. These rare locales do not displace the fact that this is Democrat voters angry at Democrat city leaders for poor policing. Republicans have no role in this.
Thus, this is a Democrat local, & state issue. It's not the federal governments' jurisdiction. President Trump cannot intervene without Congressional approval, which will not happen under a Democrat controlled Congress. Thus, Republicans have no role in this.
The local city & state Democrats own this, and must fix it....the Independent & moderate Democrat voters are watching them closely, & know that the Republicans have no role in this.
I can't see how any of this helps the Democrats in November, since the Republicans had no role in it.
Its up to Democrat voters in these large cities to hold their local Democrat leaders accountable for police brutality. The police work for the Democrat politicians.
Poor policing isn't isolated to the cities but that is where the protests are occurring. There are plenty of abuses in areas that are multiracial, lack of a protest is not indicative of a good and fair police force.
The governors and mayors are given authority to deal with these rioters. Which states are dealing with it effectively?
There are peaceful protestors who are being dispersed from peacefully protesting because of the Antifa thugs who are destroying property, committing violence, getting publicity and portraying black Americans as looters.
They are not there for any good reason. The truth about all this will come out.

Two attorneys both Ivy League were arrested and charged with Molotov cocktails thrown at police.
From the NY Times
"As she neared, she lit a fuse hanging out of a Bud Light beer bottle and threw it through an already broken window of the police vehicle, igniting its console. The complaint said she returned to the minivan and the pair fled.
The police saw Ms. Rahman throw the Molotov cocktail and followed the two lawyers as they tried to get away, officials said. A patrol car stopped them several blocks away and they were arrested"
Figure 10 years plea bargain 1 year hard time with probation for 5. Good way to end a career.
The gov was all for sending the police to enforce this stuff, arresting people, etc. They did this to stop the spread of the virus, they said it was a public health risk so great, that they made it against the law for many businesses top operate, and arrested people for violating rules regarding spread of the virus.
So, if the virus was such a danger, so much so that we have had among the most restrictive measures in place in recent US history, how is it with this, the same gov is hands off? Is the virus all in all, not that deadly or big of a deal? They will send the police in to shut a business down, or arrest someone holding a gathering, but hands off with this?
these are all very good questions that reveal a huge amount of hypocrisy. +1.
