It is for their Guard Units to handle first.

3 words: Posse Commitatus Act

"The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States."

Wouldn't accomplish anything, because they wouldn't have the authority to do anything, and they'd be ready made targets of opportunity.

So they would kill people. You can’t make that look good. Let the liberals that hate cops See what life’s like when you don’t have a gun and cops stand down. Voting Democrat has consequences!!!

The optics would be terrible in an election year. It's better to let these liberal cities burn to the ground and have the responsibility be on their local leaders (all Democrats).

It’s the responsibility of the city to stop the violence first. When they fail they should request the help of the state. And if the state fails or request fed help then Trump can send in the feds.

That’s the way is works. Your blue city and state leaders are failing you. On purpose.

The cities besides Minny at least got things under control for the most part last night.

Minny did nothing and there's zero excuse for it.

We know. But that was not part of the OP's premise.
