Do you believe that the US should be responsible for ''policing''?

I assume you refer to 'policing' in the sense that the US is often referred to as the 'worlds policeman'. No it shouldn't but then it isn't. The US does on occasion act in concert with other powers under the auspices of the UN, but that responsibility is to the UN, specifically the Security Council of which it is a member in any case. As to policing in general, if the US were responsible for policing it would have a difficult job (as there are no hard and fast laws that apply universally to many things). Moreover it would be being derelict in its duties, there are many areas where the US is not involved that need policing. Of course the US would also be guilty of police brutality (for taking action against people without reason or legitimacy). So no, the US should not and is not responsible for policing, it does however often act in its interests and protect its interests abroad, on occasion that is expressed to its own public as policing (it gives the right impression in propaganda terms).

Why might a governor be reluctant to call for federal troops to combat domestic violence in a city in his or her state?

Federal troops are always a last resort when it comes to policing matters for a couple reasons: A. Troops' ultimate mission is to protect U.S. citizens from foreign threats. B. Government fears that troop activity in domestic territory may spark hostilities and resentment for the military. This hurts the image of, and respect for, military personel. C. That's what we have police for.
