Report shows violent crime was already going down in Portland and other cities

Violent crime had already been declining in each of the cities where President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops: Portland, Memphis, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles. It's also down across the board in many of the cities he has threatened to send troops to, including New Orleans, Oakland, San Francisco and St. Louis. In New York City and Baltimore, violent crime is still largely down except in one or two areas.
