How far would Dems have let the LA riots go if Trump hadn’t sent in the National Guard?

Police in Los Angeles finally began moving to disperse the anti-ICE rioters late Saturday — after President Trump announced he was sending in the National Guard.
Until then, cops were under orders to stand down as the “mostly peaceful protesters” hurled rocks, bricks and fireworks at federal agents — also torching vehicles and physically blocking ICE enforcement actions.
The rioters filmed their own violence, sharing it on social media.
And it all followed Mayor Karen Bass’ incendiary words Friday as she slammed ICE raids taking dozens of illegal migrants into custody.
“We will not stand for this,” Bass declared, insisting ICE’s actions “sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city” and bragging that her office was “in close coordination” with lefty “community organizations” — an outright cue for the rioting to begin.
By the time police finally got orders to control the chaos, they had to engage in running battles with the mobs in downtown LA and the suburb of Paramount.
