The cops have definitely been told to stand down, which is easy because they are supremely out-numbered and ill-prepared. I think that POTUS is forbidding the NatGuard from being deployed. And yes, it's the state's right to deploy their NG's, but doesn't mean POTUS is sending the state a clear message "Better Not..." in the meantime.
