Local law enforcement have been arresting violent and non-violent protestors alike throughout the last few months, I’m not sure where you are getting the idea that they haven’t been.
“Local law enforcement” means something different in every locality but you are still wrong.
On the contrary, thousands of protestors have been actually charged. Meanwhile police officers are still virtually never charged, even in cases of obvious brutality or obvious murder.
As an example, DA Jackie Lacey hasn’t charged a single one of the 330+ cops that killed LA residents during her 8 year tenure (some orgs say it’s over 600, the police disagree)
Just look at Chicago, New York etc. Both have broken historical records of shootings as well as fatalities. Portland has been rioting for over 45 days and the Mayor and Governor is not even stopping rioters from burning down federal property.
23 million in damages to federal property including courthouse:
> A review of court records showed 59 people arrested during Portland demonstrations had charges dismissed, including several people arrested on felony charges.
