Also, SFPD’s budget was not cut in the wake of protests against police violence. There was no defunding of police in San Francisco. You can’t blame their inaction on policies that were not implemented here.
- egberts1 4y agoUmmm, SF voters voted to make their police force "SMALLER"! https://www.vox.com/2020/11/4/21537593/san-francisco-proposition-e-police-staffing-results https://www.vox.com/2020/11/4/21537593/san-francisco-proposi...

They weren't meeting these numbers for a long time. >The proposition also requires San Francisco to end a requirement that there be a specified number of full-duty sworn police officers assigned to neighborhood policing and patrol — a number law enforcement officials say has never been met due to resource constraints.
- egberts1 4y agoYea, I did. Down from 2398 in 2021. Voter capped SPO at 1,971. https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/sites/default/files/2021-02/SFPDStaffingStudyReport20210304.pdf https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/sites/default/files/2021-...
