They did this to preemptively stop riots. But the riots never really broke out. The Latino community never fought back in a way that required the national guard. It's been months and only cost the city 30m. Comparatively the George Floyd riots caused 40m the first two weeks. A huge difference.

Can't blame Trump for having ptsd over those riots. I think the government thought they were going to get more push back than they did. But honestly, I thought they would as well. Now that it's apparent the troops are not needed, they are pulling them out. Not a good look for anyone involved.
