San Francisco supervisor Hillary Ronen begs for more police in her district after voting to defund in 2020

A San Francisco district supervisor is calling for more policing in the crime-ridden city – despite advocating to defund the police in 2020.

Hillary Ronen, Democrat, represents District 9 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. During a Budget and Appropriations Committee meeting on Wednesday, she made an impassioned plea to add more officers to the Mission District, which she represents.

Ronen was attacking San Francisco's police chief for spending a large amount of overtime on an anti-retail theft program instead of prioritizing police presence in her district.

"I've been begging this department to give the Mission what it deserves in terms of police presence all year long," Ronen said. "And I have been told time and time and time and time again there are no officers that we can send to Mission."

"It hurts. And I feel betrayed by the department. I feel betrayed by the mayor. I feel betrayed by the priorities of the city," the Democratic politician added.

The speech contradicts her stance on policing in 2020. After the George Floyd protests, Ronen tweeted that she believed "strongly" that San Francisco's police force needed to be reduced.

"I want to make it clear that I believe strongly in defunding the police and reducing the number of officers on our force," Ronen wrote. "For decades we’ve had an imbalance in our city’s budget, with hundreds of millions of dollars going to SFPD to have them do work they are not qualified to do."

Sure, right after you spend $5 million for each black citizen’s “reparations”.

Too bad outright stupidity isn’t against the law. She’d be behind bars.

I spent $500 on the anger management sessions. $500 bucks I’ll never see again. They tried to charge me for smashing the chair through the plate glass window and setting fire to the meeting room. The rotten scum. I’ll never pay, I don’t care.


All kidding aside, that sweet little girl deserves a much better mother. Not an out of control rotten shrew.

So I threatened to skin him alive and to zip tie the other one’s hands and ankles and drown him in the river. Does that make me a bad woman? Do I look crazy to you? Do I?

Just another SF politician who is programmed to run to the head of any parade. When “defund the police!” was trending, she trended. When disgust with crime is trending, she is pro police. And so forth.

Wikipedia:

During the 2018 San Francisco mayoral special election, Ronen voted with the majority to remove London Breed as interim mayor. Ronen explained her vote by stating her belief that Breed was being supported by "white, rich men" and "billionaires" such as Ron Conway who "have steered the policies for the past mayoral administrations . . . that have gotten us into the absolute mess that we are in today, where poor people and people of color cannot afford to live in the city." Ronen's choice for interim mayor, Mark Farrell, was a white male venture capitalist whose firm Conway had invested in.

The hypocrisy is incredible!

Regards,

What happened to the “progressive” approach with psychologists, it didn’t work out so well?

Like those parents of Kate Steinle who was murdered in SFO by an illegal. Big fat life-long libs, then they whined when the girl was murdered as a result of their actions. No sympathy.

As a Believer, I have always had a hard time accepting the theory of Evolution. However, I now believe that Democrats are descended from pond scum and are the product of the infinite negative mutations that had to have taken place. Since mutations create biological defects in a species it stands to reason that Democrats are dumber than pond scum. Which is why we need to drain the swamp.

....I think Ms. Ronen would struggle to add 2 + 2.

She makes AOC look like Einstein.
