[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd just like to point out that San Francisco did not "defund the police".

No one did. That's just another MAGA untruth. [/quote]

Yeah, they did.  Then they reversed it when things went downhill.

[quote]From coast to coast in 2020, liberal politicians pledged support for defunding police departments following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. San Francisco Mayor London Breed was among the politicians in major cities that joined the chorus of leaders diverting funds from police that summer, only to reverse course the following year.

"We will redirect $120 million from law enforcement to support these priorities over the next two years," Breed said in her announcement on July 31, 2020. "Let me repeat that. This is $120 million."

The plan redirected $120 million in funds from both the police and sheriff’s departments in the city over two years to fund initiatives for Black Americans in the Golden City. The San Francisco Chronicle reported at the time that the reallocation of funds was intended to be "a gesture of reparations for decades of city policymaking that have created or exacerbated deep inequities for San Francisco’s African American residents."

Breed was far from alone in making moves to defund police. Political leaders stretching from the U.S. House of Representatives, such as Rep. Ilhan Omar, to local city leaders supported calls from activists demanding that funds allocated to police departments be divested to public safety initiatives, such as mental health and youth services.
