Back in June of 2020, San Francisco Mayor London Breed had what she thought was a fantastic idea:
London Breed (@LondonBreed) ~ Decades of disinvestment and racially disparate policies have disproportionately hurt our African-American community in SF.
Supervisor @ShamannWalton and I will lead the effort to redirect funding from the @SFPD to support the African-American community in the upcoming budget.

What’s happened since then?
Michael Shellenberger took a look and the disaster Mayor Breed helped create with another attempt to create a progressive utopia that predictably backfired:
Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) ~ Three years ago, San Francisco Mayor @LondonBreed announced a plan to defund the police. Now, with the city short 540 police officers, and a rapidly growing area controlled by violent drug dealers, the mayor is finally asking the federal government to help.
Just like all leftist politicians Breed now wants taxpayers all over the country to foot the bill to clean up the disaster she created.
San Francisco Chronicle (@sfchronicle) ~ S.F. Mayor London Breed said she was most concerned about drug dealing on the streets, describing dealers as becoming increasingly aggressive with police, ambassadors, other city workers and residents.

“The problem is beyond our local capacity,” said Mayor Breed. Has she considered resigning for causing “the problem”?
Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) ~ “We are in the midst of an unprecedented police staffing shortage… drug dealers have become increasingly aggressive ... Violence and shootings surround these brazen open-air drug dealing scenes.” — @LondonBreed
