I've been watching this, and I've seen very little criticism from the Left, especially when compared to their criticisms of the other side.The rioters are doing a great job of helping Trump, that's for sure.
Democrats have been condemning violence continuously... GOP tactic has been to try and label the violence on Democrats...
But they make no comment about violence from extreme right wing...

Former Vice President Joe Biden has rejected the notion of "defunding the police," but that hasn’t stopped his critics fwww.politifact.com
Biden has repeatedly denied interest in defunding the police, a position supported by the Black Lives Matter movement, and has instead proposed a $300 million cash infusion to support community policing and employing more social workers alongside police officers.
Even the way Police in America handle rioters is archaic compared to UK and EU... Europe has been dealing protestors for years the US way of handling it seems just bizarre... We see armoured vehicles which were designed for low intensity war/ guerrilla warfare...
Where are the water cannons?
Where are the cameras? I mean there should be drones all over the place, screwed to walls, van below has a telescopic...

First thing is you allow protestors to protest and tell the organisers if stays peaceful you can stay there all night and for days... If someone misbehaves try and sort out internally before police get involved... In Europe the protest organisers and police work hand in hand, they work together to keep peaceful...
there are always elements that want violence, Anarchists in Europe turn out to these things all the time... Organisers highlight them quickly and usually first thing is to get them to remove face covering so Camera can identify them... Any violence can be traced to them later.
Cops don't usually tackle the riot directly but contain them... They remove innocent people... Then detain on mass while taking details or arrest... They will be arresting people for 3 weeks afterwards... Protestors are usually very supportive as it keeps things peaceful and doesn't hijack there agenda... This is how you get a 100,000+ people on streets protesting, that change things...
Has the Left criticized its own more than Trumpsters have? Yes, of course, but zero is a pretty low bar.
