There is no major even happening right now, I know it may happen but as of yet it hasn't. So why declare an emergency now?

Is this normal when anticipating unrest?

The mayor asked for one until after the elections so Trump agreed because otherwise they would have found ways to yet again blame him for something that had nothing to do with him.

Maybe in anticipation of ANTIFA/BLM disguising as patriots.

There have been a couple threads floating around here, I dunno their credibility, but they say Trump already had assets who infiltrated ANTIFA/BLM keeping tabs on their groups
