I keep hearing the same thing over and over on these newscasts:

There are no fire trucks trying to stop the fires.
The police are telling people (like the mayor in Delwood) that they do not feel ‘safe’ enough to bring in the fire trucks.
Yet there are either none or very few protesters around these fires.
And like they mayor of Delwood just said — he was promised that they would be protected, that there would be National Guard, and yet there is nobody there protecting them or their property.

I see this as a wink wink nod nod by the police.
