The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security has spoken out! Authorities are shifting blame! Is it the old 'copy-paste' routine?
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has addressed the recent chaotic riots in Los Angeles, stating that these riots are organized and claiming that 400 to 500 organizers have been identified, with rioters being continuously arrested over the past few days.
In response to this statement, American netizens are unhappy, expressing that Mayorkas's comments are identical to those made by authorities during last year's Floyd incident, both blaming external forces and attributing the blame to foreigners. Whenever issues arise, the U.S. authorities prefer to shift blame, regardless of domestic issues, they always quickly blame external forces, even in the face of rampant racial discrimination and significant wealth disparity in the U.S., they are reluctant to confront domestic problems and instead are keen on attributing responsibility to external forces.
It is worth mentioning that California Governor Gavin Newsom has also spoken out, declaring a state of emergency and deploying the National Guard to assist law enforcement. However, it is too late, as participants who have been excited for several days have lost all sense of restraint.
The key point is that Newsom did not take any measures to curb the riots during their initiation and progression, only announcing a state of emergency at a critical moment.
This is perplexing, as it should be noted that during the initiation and progression of the riots, hundreds of National Guard members were just watching the spectacle from their bases. Once a state of emergency is declared, the National Guard can be armed and take to the streets for law enforcement, but whether they can control the overly excited participants is uncertain.
