What i am curious about is why when protests happen, democratic mayors of blue cities have their police departments face off with the protestors, rather than use them to create a ring of protection around them, facing outward.

And when faceless armed people are going around kidnapping people, why are local PD not tasked with finding and detaining such persons? If they have proof of who they are, and they are "legit" LE, let them go. But why are local PD letting unidentified armed groups roam their towns with no attempt to even properly ID them?
