And you're ignoring that this proposed budget cut never happened. The Dream Keeper Initiative was paid for from the general fund instead of from SFPD budget. ht

  According to your article, the police department budget for 2019-20 was $692, and the proposal for 2021-22 was $661. Which would definitely be less. But even worse when you adjust for inflation - the 2019-20 budget would be $733 million in 2021 dollars, compared to the $661 for the 2021-22 budget. Also worth quoting this section of the article you linked to: > That means over the two year budget period, the city reduced law enforcement spending to the tune of $110 million. As the budget process continues, supervisors will have the opportunity to propose further cuts that could get closer to $120 million, like they did last year.
