The images of communities fixing their own neighborhoods is so powerful, and I wonder if it's more effective at reducing riots - to see your own people around you working to undo the damage is much more humanizing than seeing city workers in matching uniforms working for pay.

I have no idea if this is true but on a gut, emotional level I feel like the individual community members getting out there and working to help each other is more effective at stopping looting than the police and military. Maybe I just really want it to be true?

Probably not. I mean if the cops really gave a damn about their community they wouldn't be starting violent riots in the first place.
