No answers about National Guard in Milwaukee, disaster declaration

Vance also praised the deployment of the National Guard to the streets of Washington, D.C., and demurred when asked by reporters about whether there would be similar action taken in Milwaukee.

Vance said the presence of the National Guard has brought down violent crime in the nation’s capital city. Data shows that reported incidents of violent crime in the last two weeks are half of what they were on average during the same time period over the last five years, and burglaries and car thefts have also decreased.
