They don't need an excuse and what do you think the next level of "escalation" would look like in Minneapolis? Armed forces refusing deployment orders? The end of the US? This admin is walking a dangerous line and using the cover of a "law-enforcement" action is doing a lot of work. As soon as it escalates to "putting down an insurrection" everyone in the admin is at risk of being vacated from office, mortally. Trump may not realize it, but the people on the ground will.
