The Democrat brand is being destroyed by the riots. They have lost moderate independents and democrats, and there are millions of people who describe themselves as such.
They will decide the outcome in November, and the radical liberal left has already turned on them before the election even takes place.
These moderates will reject the radical left, and re-elect Donald Trump, even though it is painful for them to do. They will take one for the good of the country, and let their patriotism shine through.
The most incredible thing about the violence, riots, and thuggery by the extreme left for the last few months, is not that people are doing it. Rather, the most incredible thing is that the Democrat politicians running things in most of those cities, are deliberately withdrawing their police, telling them to "stand down", and generally letting the rioting thugs and arsonists do whatever they want, anywhere they want. The thugs are even taking over POLICE STATIONS and burning them down!
I've seen the police doing very little as these thugs continue to pillage and burn the city. They've rolled a few tear gas canisters into the crowd of rioters, which the rioters brushed aside. Otherwise no real effect.
What on earth are the officials doing? More than FIFTY STRAIGHT NIGHTS of fires, smashing stores, looting, and their police stand idly by? What orders have the police been given, to keep them from halting the riots and arresting the rioters? And above all, WHY?
For the life of me I can't see why their cops aren't arresting people and throwing them in jail. Why not invest in maybe a thousand sets of handcuffs, and set up a few Joe-Arpaio-style tent cities in the middle of the state (such as south of Crowley or east of Andrews) to house (and isolate) them? I'd imagine there's a lot of rocks waiting to be broken there. The rioters will run out of people who like rioting, faster than the cops will run out of handcuffs, cots, and port-a-potties.
Isn't the main reason for having a city or state government, to prevent this stuff from happening? What is a government for, if not this?
Why are the Democrat politicians still drawing paychecks, while they just let this go on and on?
And when people go to the polls this November, what memories will be freshest on their minds about the performance of the do-nothings they elected last time?

Why the confusion? You answered your own question. Police have been told not to arrest or even fight back. The leftist mayors and governors think chaos and danger will help their party in the elections. Hopefully law and order will prevail.
We have always had riots and looting over the decades. Why is this somehow new?
When have we ever had rioting and looting over the decades where the powers to be stood down and and let it go “unchecked”? Do you not see a difference?

Yup. Really my question was more directed at the people giving the police these orders. I wish the media would go to them with camera crews and microphone, as ask them why they are ordering their police not to do anything to these people - not arrest them, not stop them from throwing bricks through windows, not stop them from setting cars etc. on fire.
Pollyannaish of me to wish the media would pursue these liberal fanatics half as hard as they pursue Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump, Michael Flynn etc.
