No one in their right mind would think that the current civil unrest situation is not far worse that that that occurred in Chicago in 1968 or during the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. In both cases the unrest was localized and yet federal troops were brought in and there was no such push back from local authorities as we are currently seeing in both DC and NYC.
Both of these mayor's and more than a few others and well as state governors are acting like petty lords not wanting their fifedoms overseen or even criticized by higher constitutional authority. They are not "co equal branches of govetnment"and the supremecy clause is still the supercedes them, whatever their objections.
This of course has nothing to do with preserving local authority and it sure as hell has nothing to do with protecting the citizenry or their property. This has everything to do with trying to weaken the President going into the 2020 elections and is motivated solely by the left's white hot rage and hatred of Trump.
Their hypocrisy is both naked and contemptable.
