Again, no disagreement on this point.
However, my point is still that it is not necessarily the case that Mayor Bowser’s understandable actions didn’t contribute to this problem. Had Mayor Bowser gone against her better judgment and asked for additional federal, nonmilitary law-enforcement officers stationed along the route of the march and outside the Capitol, it’s possible that there would have been no need for the National Guard.
