San Francisco Mayor London Breed's verbal sparring match with a city official over the role of police in fighting the drug crisis could signal a tone shift, according to one cautiously-optimistic activist.
"It sent a message, I think, to San Franciscans that the age of this kind of Democratic Socialist, radical politicking in San Francisco is coming to an end," recovering addict-turned-activist Tom Wolf told Fox News.
Breed recently committed to cracking down on open-air drug markets in San Francisco, and announced during a Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday that police made 38 arrests in about one week. During a question and answer period, Supervisor Dean Preston criticized Breed's approach as contradicting the city's 2022 overdose prevention plan stating that "Black, Brown and indigenous communities nationwide" have been disproportionately impacted by racist drug policies.
The self-described Democratic Socialist also suggested "punitive policies" would lead to more overdose deaths.
"Here we go. Another White man who's talking about Black and Brown people as if you're the savior of those people and you speak for them," Breed responded. She then defended law enforcement as a necessary component of fixing the city's drug crisis.
