On Friday she announced plans to divert $120 million from the city's police to efforts that address inequities in the Black community.
"We have to listen to the people who have seen and lived the devastation resulting from decades of disinvestment," she said.a report by the city's Human Rights CommissionBased on the report — issued earlier this week — the mayor has proposed that 60% of the funding be directed for mental health, wellness and homelessness, and 35% be directed to education, youth development and economic opportunity.$13.7 billion for fiscal year 2020-21 and $12.
$120 million will by a-lot of pooper scoopers.
The black community is less than 3 % of sf population. This is wrong headed and posturing. Fix subsidized homeless, tents, drugs,violence, and filth: 16th & Market 8.8.20 unintendedconsequences
Investing in Housing Stability instead of Military Tanks is a great strategy.
Unbelievable! This is retarded! Watch San Francisco crime rate is going to sky rocket. Bad move!
bad idea
Try making the Fathers accountable for their sons. It’s a complete failure of the family structure .. to many “baby daddies”
Why did progressive Democratic SF create inequalities for the Black community in the first place ? Who are the real racists here ?
So fucking stupid!!!
So, $120M of 'active' money that has quantifiable results to .... a committee.
Why not put this down as a proposition and allow the SF voters a say. This is not a legitimate use of power, you have no mandate for this.
Idiot
Everyone, buy a gun!
I grew up in the MS delta. My father was a Mexican immigrant and my mother was a white girl with an 8th grade education. Neither excepted anyone to help or feel sorry for them. They worked and did what they needed to do to survive. If you want a better life nobody is stopping you
Awesome!! About fcking time! We need to build up black communities! We need to improve their neighborhoods, put more businesses in their communities, update their schools etc. This is so great!
LOL. There goes 120 mm wasted. No cops = just wait for it.
You should take that money from nba player payroll, they make more money that ten police officers make in a lifetime. We need police, can do without sellout athletes.
Mayor Breed’s one step plan to turn a pile of shit city into one giant shithole
I don’t agree with it because brown people have just as much inequities as black people.
Instead of cutting the police funds, we need to stop paying politicians starting with Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, and London Breed.
Why don’t you cut your salary and give it to your community? And stop your weekly trips to Saks to buy new shoes. It’s hard times, and we are all in this TOGETHER. You democrats are all hypocrites.
‘Address the black community in housing, health, economic opportunity and education’. Having we been doing this for past 50 yrs. under the great society of pres. Johnson. You mean it hasn’t worked yet. I believe it’s called the welfare state-or state of mind.
So, there wasn’t any funding allocated for these inequities prior to this, or was it squandered
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah!!!!
Will it make dad's stay home with the children? Will it make children stay in school? Will it stop the black on black crime? No it won't.What it will do is pay for a committee to sit around and do nothing.But the crime rate will drop because there will be less police on the road.
She totally should, that's a super idea! ReparationsNow DefundThePolice Let's watch SanFrancisco burn as well.
94% of SF population is White, Hispanic or Asian. What are you doing for those folks?
This is called buying votes.
I can crap on the street there without repercussions. I'd say she needs to wake up.
This will only increase taxes when they realize that San Francisco crime will skyrocket (already is too high) when there aren't enough police to respond and they need more money for law enforcement. Tourism and businesses will leave, with residents paying more in taxes.
Will that make them better citizens and obey the law?
To be honest they dint need it
The government should be funding these changes.
So y’all could have been doing this the whole time?
They're only 6% of the SF population or about 48k people. 120 million works out to $2,500 each. SF spends way more per person on all the homeless and drug users. Hasn't made a difference there. This probably will just be another meaningless waste of money on ineffective programs.
Shifting millions of dollars will not change police brutality nor hatred toward minorities and non-white. What must happen is accountability for police action and punishment
yeeee..more drugs on streets!!! maybe pcp?...great news for overweight people--more free food!!!life free!! lets 'white' work ..otherwise we peacefully burn some police cars!! --MAYOR please visit your doctor.......
Current and former foster youth are the most disadvantaged group in A.erica, more than any other demographic. You should be making sure current amd former foster youth are getting these funds! Shouldn't be based off race but off of economic and past traumatic struggles.
The money will disappear and nothing will change. Then they’ll soak taxpayers for more.
Black *MAYOR* wants to complain about inequities. 😲
That’s just dumb
...to give to blacks. Just say it !!!! Rich Asians in SanFrancisco will be even happier about tax increases for less return.
Call it what you want, but her actions equate to theft. Another fascist. LondonBreed represents the ilk of humanity, worse than any overcompensated Badge Monkey or guest of our prison system.
They elected her, they can now live with the results. Just don't make the rest of the country pay for this (man made) disaster
Hahaha, if SF residents want to go along with this joke, let them, and good luck (it’s going to be a great environment for all types of criminal enterprises
Chicago on the Pacific, eh?
The same virtue signaling fakes have sold out the black community for decades. They don't give a crap about black people. This is about turning people against each other, division, and convincing black ppl they are victims and helpless without massa's help.
THAT'S how you do it
How much money will it take to reduce the 70% out of wedlock birth rate for blacks?
Wow. One extreme to the other doesn't work well.i want the fuck out of America. Too many selfish PEOPLE making believe they care or know what they're doing.
LondonBreed should divert some funds over to cleaning up the poop & needles littering her city!
Sound racist.
Boom! That’s how you do it
What about the piles of human crap on the streets?
Defunding the police? Joe Biden approves! 👍
Now this is truly a Presidential act! Awesome example of prioritization of police services.
BettyBuckley This isn't the answer. The blame is not just on the police. People B & W need to take responsibility for their actions. It's starts at home, work within every community, our schools and workplaces. This plan is going to blow up in your face, and hurt the ppl in SF, not help them.
The police need more funding not less. This will make things much worse.
LibbySchaaf 👀
What percentage of the SFPD's budget is that 120 million though? 'cause last I checked 120 million isn't half of 700 million, it's less than 18%. It's a start, but it's nowhere near enough.
San Francisco is defunding the police.
San Francisco Pelosi Town Poop in the Streets Needles in the streets Druggy drifters And now less Police Presence? Kiss tourism goodbye
Another idiot to vote out of office
This will be the city’s last gasp for air as it descends into the blue death spiral of the progressive left. I guess it’ll turn into the NYC of the west coast.
San Fran had to develop an app to assist with human feces removal. Not sure anything they do is a good idea.
RightsOfWoman It's a start.
black lives are improved w safe nhoods + investment, for which you need police and thru having fathers in homes, for which you need reduction of welfare state and focus on changing culture white leftists are making things exponentially worse
Sounds very racist. She should be sued
Defund NPR
How about the homeless of any color?
I guess the Asian (34%) & Hispanic (15%) communities don’t face the same inequities as the Black (5%) community? That’s interesting.
This is going to backfire !
tedcruz how's that bill allowing Americans to sue these officials coming along?
It's a start, but more needs to be done across the USA
If it worked for a vanity fence for TraitorTrump...
It's a start. A VERY small start, but a start.
THAT’S leadership💪🏽
Thank you

Generally speaking, inequality is far more due to cultural issues within a community than some bigoted govt per the United States. Without law and order, government oversight of culture, better practices with schools and strong families, tax dollars mean very little.

Poof ... and, and it's gone
I don’t live in sf. So it’s their decision.
What black community in San Francisco? Where are they now? Unless you gonna send that money to Oakland or outside the city you are way too late.
Wait...WAIT 🚨 Is this a “proactive” approach 🤔 We DO NOT do this. It’s ANTI-AMERICAN 🚫🇺🇸 Capitalism thrives on expensive “REACTON”. Or are you against MONEY and FREEDOM and PUPPIES?!?!?! 😒
How about the mayor donate her salary?

Remind people that government nor money can’t fix racism or lawlessness. Only folks turning to Jesus Christ to invite them it i their hearts can fix the problem since this world is filled with sin. The rest is just putting a band aid on a symptom of the problem.
This is the right direction 👍🏼
Babylon is throwing fuel on it's own fire. Whatever.
😂😂😂 That means more dead black people
Guaranteed to lower crime and improve lives.
How about she fixes the homeless issue?
