You should have read your own citations. Ex: one of them explains what happened.

The vast majority of citations and charges against George Floyd protesters were ultimately dropped, dismissed or otherwise not filed, according to a Guardian analysis of law enforcement records and media reports in a dozen jurisdictions around the nation.

observers charge that departments carried out mass arrests as a crowd control tactic

as a public relations strategy designed to turn the public against demonstrators by making them appear more violent than they were. And what’s more – some of the citing officers never witnessed the protests in the first place.

data shows that a majority of felony charges were also dropped, which some prosecutors said was due to a lack of evidence.

In short, their strategy was "arrest them all, let the courts sort them out". But the law requires evidence, and protesters were arrested en-mass.

Sounds like, Hey, ya'll alright. Go ahead. Do it again.

In most instances, Detroit officers who wrote tickets were not at the protests and didn’t actually witness the alleged crimes, said the National Lawyers Guild and Detroit Justice Center attorney Rubina Mustafa. Instead of continuing to attempt to prosecute with shoddy evidence, the city earlier this year dropped nearly 300 more citations

Police arrested protesters in vast numbers as a way of breaking up the protests. This is the opposite of what happened on January 6th, where the evidence of the crimes committed by each individual was gathered first, and then arrests made based on that evidence.

Except the cases are being dropped by the states and cities.

That is ignorant bullshit.
Cops are legally only allowed to arrest someone if they are doing something illegal. That is what the law calls "probable cause". Any cop who breaks that rule is subject to a lawsuit and disciplinary action.

Those states and cities are subject to the supervision of the Justice Department in Washington. If they disobey the Justice Department they can be sued. They all get Federal funds and if they disobey the Justice Dept, they can lose their Federal funding. You really are ignorant.

No, idiot. If a cop makes an arrest without probable cause that a crime has been committed, he has broken the law and can be sued or disciplined. What you are claiming is a violation of the law set down by the Supreme Court.

Wait until you get a law license, because right now you're shooting blanks.

Man arrested on suspicion of murder in Mercer Co.

22-year-old Brian Hayslip was arrested Tuesday night.

Police can arrest and detain people for 72 hours without them committing a crime, but only because the officer has a reasonable belief that a crime was committed. So as noted in the citation, officers arrested protesters en-mass because they suspected they did something illegal.

And when they couldn't provide proof, their cases had to be dropped.

All I can say is WOW. The DOJ has no authority over the states, except if the states violate federal law.

NOTE: The Department of Justice has no authority to intervene in matters of state law. The Department of Justice can assume jurisdiction only when there has been a violation of federal law.

Maybe you didn't see the case of "sanctuary cities" that Trump tried to "defund" and the courts said the executive (including DOJ) had no such authority.

So your claim that disobeying the DOJ subjects them to "defunding" is completely crazy.

U.S. appeals court rules against Trump attempt to withhold funds from 'sanctuary' cities

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday ruled against a Trump administration attempt to withhold millions of dollars from so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

They could be sued under Obama. One of the first things that Trump did was end that program.

The programs are again getting going again. However it will take time to get them going.
