What's really happening: Vandalism helps Trump

Letter to the editor in today's NY Times:

Portland and Kenosha

Every day, on an endless 24-hour loop, I see coverage of vandalism going on in American cities after peaceful protesters go home. 

What I don’t see is law enforcement descending on these lawbreakers. Nor do I learn if they are ever arrested and, if so, who they are. And if not, why not? 

If the media are able to film these criminal acts in real time, why don’t the police intervene and put an end to them? 

We are left in the dark about what is really happening.
