The only menaingful difference is who is affected by, scared by and in danger from the riot.
The message could not be more clear. For politicial gain the inner city neighborhoods were an acceptible loss , the families there could live in fear and danger on a nightly basis and no attempt to stop the riots were made, ground was conceded and political points made.We couldn't use the gaurd in our cities! Even then when just simple vandalism reached the Mayor's neighborhood the evil police were called. They didn't care when a repub sitting US Senator was accousted by an angry mob and many of them encourgared and enabled violence . As long as said violence "stayed in it's place" And oh yeah they want to take guns away from private citizens who would then be even more unable to protect themselves.
Then one riot came to their door and it was suddenly very, very, very different! More cops,protecting them with guns, National gard in the streets an expensive and doomed impeachment attempt born out of a belief that simiply challenging the election results = inciting violence. They were protected with cops and gaurd and of course guns!
To recap: The dems approach to riots
Inner City :Encouraged violence, gave ground, ridiculed police, threatened to defund them and refused to use troops whom could have ended the riots, plus little attempt to track down rioters.
Their Door: CALL the very police they threatened to defend , bring in the troops, and of course they can be protected with guns, ;lots of em and round up suspects ASAP
