Atlanta isn’t burning and murders aren’t at 2x their historic records. Crime ebbs and flows, and there is a police force to deal with it. If things get out of hand, then the mayor has the option to escalate and request the governor bring in more aid as needed. There are plenty of well trained police departments in neighboring towns.
There is no law preventing federal law enforcement from enforcing federal laws anywhere in the country.
The CHOP insurrectionists were not protesting, they were preventing property owners from legitimate use of their property. There is a federal right to property, inherent in that right is the right to use it for profit and gain. Being occupied by an insurrectionist army prevents that. The President doesn’t need local permission to send the FBI in to arrest them. These morons were armed, defending a “border” they created, and declared themselves autonomous. If he sent the Army in to put down the insurrection, I agree, he needs the locals to ask. If he sends the FBI in to arrest the criminals… no, he doesn’t need permission for that.
I wasn’t discussing all of those cities. I was discussing Atlanta. If other cities need help, they can always request it from their governor. It should be handled between the mayor and the governor before anyone even thinks about requesting help from the national government. If and only if such help is requested from the federal government should get involved, unless the crime is of a nature that breaks federal law.
No different than Trump using protests, destruction, as a political tool.
So answer to your question, the State Legislature passes a request. If the Governor vetos it, the Legislature can over-ride the veto and the request goes through.

I think he was talking about the FBI, not the military. In the case of the FBI, they would still need to have jurisdiction. I’m sure someone will come along any minute and point out the Federal law that was violated giving them jurisdiction.
