Trump deploys US National Guard in Washington, DC amid disputed crime data

US President Donald Trump’s long running feud with the city of Washington DC, has taken a dramatic twist.
Trump has declared a “crime emergency” in the capital - placing the city's police force under federal control and deploying hundreds of national guard troops.
That's despite police data showing violent crime at its lowest rate, in over three decades.

Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports from Washington, DC.
