In the end, a majority favors the rule of law

Exclusive: Erik Rush is encouraged by more liberal Dems bucking the radicals and anarchists

What kind of mayors allow violent demonstrators to destroy their cities in piecemeal fashion with protracted rioting? What kind of governors allow cities in their state to burn similarly at the hands of rioters? What kind of elected officials ignore the protestations of the citizens and business owners who elected them against ongoing violent demonstrations as their homes, businesses and public places they frequent are demolished by thugs? What sort of lawmakers pillory those who suggest that these mayors and governors ought to take more decisive action in these areas?

These are the questions a lot of Americans are asking at present. Many of them do not yet have a working understanding of the dynamic in play as regards the violent demonstrations we've seen in recent weeks, but that hardly negates the validity of their concerns.

As I've pointed out previously in this space, President Donald Trump has been in a tenuous position concerning the federal government's role in mitigating the violence: There is a very real danger that any intercession by the administration could be characterized by the political left and the press as a tacit endorsement of police brutality against blacks, since this is the pretext that leftist radicals are using as justification for the riots.
