I agree. But since policy is set at the local level, isn't the governor or mayor the more logical choice? Why should the article mention the president, but no

  Because that wouldn’t further the narrative necessary to win back the White House. Some of the most violent cities with some of the most corrupt police forces have been Democrat-led for decades. But somehow Republicans get blamed for Democrat mayors, their puppet police chiefs. Omaha is about the sane size as Minneapolis but it happens to have a Republican mayor. San Diego has a Republican mayor and has far fewer police incidents per capita than LAPD. It’s worth challenging commonly held assumptions, because from my chair, all of the most violent and corrupt cities are deeply Democrat.
