What a load of crap. The author negates to point out that the police are usually outnumbered 20:1. If this was a police takeover, they would be pouring in hundreds and hundreds of agents into a city. Not 100 or 150 to deal with a few thousand rioters. Not to mention, that the agents are required to protect federal property, as well as arrest provocateurs. There aren't enough federal agents to impose a "police state", not without pulling all of them from their assigned duties. Add to that, the citizens of these cities are generally welcoming the agents into their towns, because their own local LEAs have been told to stand down by corrupt mayors.

Lastly, the author makes zero recommendations as to an alternative course of action. What are "we" supposed to do? Let lawlessness reign in the cities and turn over our federal properties to the rioters? That sends a far worse message than arresting communists.
