I do not believe the local police forces cannot contain those who riot, but rather there is not enough political effort made to do so. That is the problem. But sending-in the military will only make matters worse IMO, hardening the resolve of the protesters. And sooner or later the military will need to withdraw. No, the immediate problem needs to be handled locally.If the feds came in and did that, implemented a curfew, pretty sure it would end the riots and destruction.
The feds, as well as every US tax payer, has an interest in stopping the riots and the destruction; after all, the bankrupt cities left in their wake are going to end up going to feds begging for money, hence every US tax payer has an interest.
However, I don't see the general unrest stopping until the feds get a handle on the pandemic & employment. Those things are weighing society down, and it's showing. It's also class-related, IMO. That's another thing that will need to be addressed at the macro level.
