Despite insisting that President Donald Trump 'overstepped' by taking over the local police on Monday, Washington, DC residents admitted that crime is a problem.
They just don't think Trump's takeover is the solution.
The president announced Monday that Washington's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) will now be under the control of Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In addition, Trump deployed 800 National Guard troops to the district in order to 'rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse.'
The forces were expected to take over DC this week and work in shifts to defend the capital from violence around the clock.
