Has anyone else noticed how none of Minneosota's politicians are being criticized?

Minnesota has a Democrat Governor. Democrat AG. Democrat Secretary of State.
Mayor of Minneapolis is a Democrat. Democrat Police Chief.
Zero criticisms. Nothing from the NYT, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Vox...nothing. Silence. Just empty rhetoric about systemic racism, justice, needed change, etc, but no one is criticizing any of the aforementioned individuals.
It's hard to not believe that if this occurred in a red state, the media and citizens would be demanding the heads of the GOP Mayor and Governor. But in Minnesota...nothing.
So what do they want? What needs to change? Is this not their idealized system of governance? If we all need to vote for change, implying political changes need to be made, why aren't the current individuals in charge being criticized as such?

They're lazy and it's easier to blame Trump, who is not responsible for restoring order in individual states and cities. That responsibility falls on governors and mayors.

Atlanta has been pretty hard it with riots. I haven't seen any criticism of the mayor(D) or governor(R) there either.

I didn't read the OP as much about the riots as the perceived situation of what people are rioting over.

That's because this whole fiasco is nothing more than the latest hoax and colluded ploy to usurp President Trump.
Palates of bricks and pavers dropped off in the middle of the street right at dusk for the riots.
Democrats and these looter anarchists are all on the same page and you don't have to draw the curtain back far in connecting the dots.
Trump is winning all the battles and they are upping the game.
General Flynn is exonerated and now the heats on the lefts foot.
Riot and distract!
Creepy/Sleepy is making a fool of himself daily and can't win in the current game.
Riot and distract!
Obama and top his minions are in deep kaka.
Riot and distract.
The economy is bouncing back with a vengeance.
Riot and distract!
The list of crimes from the deviant left is ever-growing and morphing into new tantrums.
They want to win and dominate this country and don't care if they burn it all up in getting their way.
That's why I live on an island if shite goes down maybe they will forget about us.

I live outside of Atlanta, and the governor here activated the National Guard rather quickly.

I mean, I think it's reasonable to think it was addressing both, as the point stands across the board. It's weird that they seem to be all but absolved of everything here.

The liberal media knows better than to criticize Democrats.

If this had happened in Georgia you’d have been subjected to non-stop stories and “documentaries” about how the South has never moved on. Writers at the NYT and Atlantic would rub one out while they navel-gazed about ignorant racist southerners.
But it didn’t happen in Georgia, it happened in a liberal haven, so Trump.
