On Wednesday, Washington's  Mayor Muriel Bowser  acknowledged that carjackings were down by 87 percent since the National Guard started patrolling the streets of the nation's capital.

Mayor Bowser said "We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what the Metropolitan Police Department has been able to do in this city."

She added, "We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us."

Very well spoken.
