Last month, San Francisco Mayor London Breed said she made an emergency request to the city’s Board of Supervisors for more money to help support a police crackdown on crime, including open air drug dealing, car break-ins and retail theft.
“I’m proud this city believes in giving people second chances,” said Breed. “Nevertheless, we also need there to be accountability when someone does break the law . . . I was raised by my grandmother to believe in ‘tough love,’ in keeping your house in order, and we need that, now more than ever.”
But a few days later, San Francisco’s progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin denounced her plan as “knee-jerk” and “short-sighted,” thereby throwing a monkey wrench in her plans. Boudin called for San Francisco to “shift our focus to . . . addressing root causes of crime.” Without Boudin’s participation, Breed will struggle to achieve her goal of shutting down open-air drug use and dealing, and rising property crimes.

“an Francisco Mayor London Breed said she made an emergency request to the city’s Board of Supervisors for more money to help support a police crackdown on crime”
As we used to say: A day late and a dollar short.
Him and the Democrats.
Major cities are going to find it harder and harder to recruit and retain enough police officers, and that problem will get worse over time. There's not a damn thing they can do about it now.
Why would the police risk life and limb to get tough on crime, knowing they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (and then some) if they harm a protected minority? Sure. They can get tough on white criminals, especially white men who offend, but that won’t address a large segment of crime. Illegal aliens? Nope. Blacks? Definitely not.
I hope children of leftists catch on and start using this line when they do something wrong.
“Sure, I may have broken the vase, but the attention on me is misdirected. We really need to focus on root causes.”
Is it possible to impeach District Attorney Chesa Boudin?
Well, he’s up for recall. I can guarantee there will be at least one vote for recall. Mine.
Probably - if enough voters are against him.
The one thing San Francisco needs is a giant pooper scooper 🤪
Chesa? You know America is in trouble when we elect munchkins with millennial generation names.
Like “London.”
He was born before the millennial generation started.
Ms. Breed no doubt voted for Mr. Boudin so enjoy the suck, London.
London Breed. Sounds like a British rock band.
Elect insane libtards, win stupid prizes.
Maybe not. Breed is about as far to the right as an elected official can be in SF. She may not be crazy about Boudin.
That’s not true; he , his parents and their satanic ilk, do believe in the toughest love of all: Communist Totalitarianism style “love”, Ministry of Love “love”. you get it.
