This is my view as well. I think the American public has unrealistic expectations of what law enforcement can actually do in these situations and further, what federal law enforcement and the national guard is capable of.
It seems like when they sent DHS down to Portland it ended up just exacerbating the situation. No "order" was restored; they just left after a week or so.
And I think more broadly, the "tough on crime" crowd needs to recognize the limits of its own ideology. We have the largest prison system in the world and still do not have law & order on our streets.
