Why are Democrat mayors unable to bring the riots, violence and destruction to an end?

These cities, (Portland, Seattle, NYC, Kenosha, Minneapolis, St. Louis, LA) and there are others, are led by democrat mayors and democrat city councils. Why can they not end the violence. It seems they are willing to just let it fade away on it's own.

It appears you are the victim in believing in fake news.

They fear losing their jobs. And they are up against anarchists who have no goal but destruction and theft. Democrats may be less willing to use force against people than Republicans would, but Im not sure Republicans would fare that much better. Using too much force just makes things worse.

Because police officers keep shooting unarmed black men.

That is their strategy. Let cities burn and not intervene and the protests will eventually die out. Meanwhile, we are over 3 months now in daily rioting in Portland. It's bound to die out any day now. :roll:

That's just it. The left don't see these people for who they really are. All they see are peaceful protesters, and if the peaceful protesters go too far, all the left has to do is appeal to them and they will stop. Meanwhile, we are over 90 days and counting.

I take it Trump's visit in Kenosha yesterday didn't amount to much. Shocker.

"The president announced $1 million to Kenosha law enforcement "so you have extra money to go out and do what you have to do." He also announced $4 million to support local businesses affected by the violence, and $42 million to support public safety statewide -- including support for law enforcement and prosecutors."

It amounts to a lot for the innocent business destroyed.

They don't want it to end. These Democratic mayors are on the side of the looters and arsonists.

I call it practicality. Much like how the protestors using violence caused people to hate them more, the police using force against them causes more people to support them.
 
Because they view rioting as politically beneficial to their election odds, and of course they have the "news" media to cover their a$$es, and to obfuscate blame and responsibility onto their political enemies!

They don't even try. Their solution is to let things happen and arrest some people and let those people right back out to be arrested again the next night. I guess they think that once all the windows are broken and everything burned down the rioters will stop.
