Actually, the cities with the highest murder rates in America are all in Republican led states, yet Trump isn’t sending the National Guard into these cities:
1) Jackson, Mississippi - ~77.2 per 100K
2) Birmingham, Alabama - ~59 per 100K
3) St. Louis, Missouri - ~40 per 100K
4) Memphis, Tennessee - ~40 per 100K
5) New Orleans, Louisiana - ~40-50 per 100K
The murder rate in Chicago is ~21.4 per 100K. Los Angeles is ~8.4 per 100K.
It's all political theater.
