Not only were they not called in, but we all knew it was coming in advance. I refuse to beleive people on reddit knew about it but the government didn't. They should have been set up in advance with at least a bit more than they had.

But they didn't do that, and when people called for back up they were told "Lol no"

Yet if people try to peacefully protest against cops killing black people they get demonized and assaulted

Well the people who were responsible for calling it in were the people who publicly invited the riot. Would be counterintuitive for Trump & Cronies to put down his own rebellion.
