After Black Lives Matter protesters last year demanded that cities "Defund the Police," San Francisco Mayor London Breed held a press conference to announce that her city would be one of the first to do exactly that. Breed announced $120 million in cuts to the budgets of both San Francisco's police and sheriff's departments. A spokesperson for the police officers' union warned the cuts "could impact our ability to respond to emergencies," but the police chief assured the public that the cuts "will not diminish our ability to provide essential services."Yesterday, Breed reversed herself in dramatic fashion, announcing that she was making an emergency request to the city's Board of Supervisors for more money for the police to support a crackdown on crime, including open air drug dealing, car break-ins, and retail theft. The plan contains much of what the California Peace Coalition, which Environmental Progress and I cofounded last spring, has been demanding, including in a series of protests by parents of homeless addicts, parents of children killed by fentanyl, and recovering addicts.
