Trump takes over D.C. police. Will other cities be next?
About this episode
President Trump said he’s taking over Washington and announced he’s deploying the National Guard to the city.
And he made another big promise: that his administration would take control of the D.C. police.
The president also mentioned other cities across the country with what he says are high levels of crime.
As President Trump pledges to use his executive authority to control law enforcement in the nation's capital, there are questions about what happens now and what this might mean for other cities across the country.
