The unrest in Portland predates BLM or the death of George Floyd.

Cities and states are responsible for law enforcement in their jusidictions. There are federal resources like the national guard that can be called in if needed. That is available to states at all times and will be deployed quickly when called upon.

Portland is trying to solve the problem. Going in with a military force and arresting everyone doesn't solve the problem, unless you are a dictator and plan to continue your crackdown.
