A San Francisco district supervisor is calling for more policing in the crime-ridden city – despite advocating to defund the police in 2020.
Hillary Ronen, a Democrat, represents District 9 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. During a Budget and Appropriations Committee meeting on Wednesday, she made an impassioned plea to add more officers to the Mission District, which she represents.
Ronen was attacking San Francisco’s police chief for spending a large amount of overtime on an anti-retail theft program instead of prioritizing police presence in her district.
“I’ve been begging this department to give the Mission what it deserves in terms of police presence all year long,” Ronen said. “And I have been told time and time and time and time again there are no officers that we can send to Mission.”
“It hurts. And I feel betrayed by the department. I feel betrayed by the mayor. I feel betrayed by the priorities of the city,” the Democratic politician added.
The speech contradicts her stance on policing in 2020. After the George Floyd protests, Ronen tweeted that she believed “strongly” that San Francisco’s police force needed to be reduced.
“I want to make it clear that I believe strongly in defunding the police and reducing the number of officers on our force,” Ronen wrote. “For decades we’ve had an imbalance in our city’s budget, with hundreds of millions of dollars going to SFPD to have them do work they are not qualified to do.”
Hillary,
Go fuck yourself.

Hey Hillary, I happen to know there are five recently unemployed cops in Memphis, Tennessee that know exactly how to deal with thugs…
You are welcome!
Hopefully she gets victimized instead of an ordinary citizen.
Hillary Ronen Just learned the definition of FAFO.
“…I feel…”
The entire problem with liberalism in two words.
No facts.
No information.
No objective reality.
Just feels.

She got what she wanted – and is now complaining about it – her constituents are as dumb as she (or maybe dumber, considering that she’s at the top of the cesspool – standing on their shoulders).
