This administration is committed to providing state and local law enforcement with the tools they need to fight crime where it occurs.
Violence is basically a local problem and it can't be solved in a top-down approach.
It should not be read in any way as a departure of strategy or tactics because of what's going on now generally.
Statistics don't bleed.
