Federal agents use crowd control munitions to disperse Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland on Monday.
But officials made clear that the government was not sending paramilitary forces in to address protests, as it has in a deeply controversial move in Portland, Oregon. Around 200 officers from those bodies have already been deployed in Kansas City to help with the gun violence there. New York shootings are also running at their highest levels in over a decade, and many other urban areas are facing similar challenges.
