Over at American Thinker, Monica Showalter has a post about how it's time for the President to assert himself with regards to the demonstrators protesters rioters:
[S]omething's gone wrong with his strange silence and ineffectual tweets with this crisis. I'm not the only one who's noticed

Now the protests have became a vehicle for criminals, using color of race, for some kind of national 'devil's nights.' It's the Detroitification of America, a neglected, miserable place, except going for multiple nights, with global markets and all the world watching.
I agree. The President was going to be blamed no matter what he did, so he might as well step in and do the right thing. Do, as they say, read the whole thing.
One other thing - I bristle at the modifier "peaceful" being attached to the word "protest". A protest by definition is peaceful. The addition of it is to try and rationalize rioting as a method of "protest" when it is in fact depriving people of life, liberty, and property. The instant someone breaks a window, it ceases being a protest and becomes something else.
