I think police departments asking to partner with protestors to protect property and the right to protest would have been a much better solution. I also wouldn't have a problem with the National Guard being called in just as protection in business districts with as little interaction as possible with protests.
It's tough because the looters aren't a single entity. There are anarchists, white supremacists, local criminals, people just looking for free stuff, protestors looking to destroy something, etc. I think, though, that a lot of the protestors understand the damage the looters can do to their cause.
