San Francisco Mayor London Breed defends city as safe after violent, deadly attacks
SAN FRANCISCO Published April 12, 2023 9:15pm EDT
Critics have questioned whether San Francisco is safe after a series of violent and deadly attacks
San Francisco Mayor London Breed defended her city during a tense interview following criticism that the city has become too dangerous because of progressive policies after a tech executive was stabbed to death last week, and a former fire commissioner was brutally attacked.
Breed, a Democrat, was speaking with FOX San Francisco when she said reports surrounding the death of Cash App founder Bob Lee were "inaccurate."
"I think that oftentimes because of social media, because of cameras and how people are able to publicize things that are happening in a moment, it is taken completely out of context in terms of highlighting the entire city as being unsafe," she said. "That's not entirely true."

After listing off several popular events hosted in the city that were incident-free, Breed was questioned about how residents could be worried about the state of the city after Lee's killing.
She mentioned that city leaders were having discussions with state and federal authorities about getting support.
"How do you answer the critics who say the state that San Francisco is turning to state and federal authorities because, in some part, it's the doing of its own politicians and city leaders," KTVU anchor Gasia Mikaelian asked. "Essentially, they're saying the progressive policies are what got us here. Now we're turning to others for help."
"You know, it's sad because I think it's just San Francisco has been a target for so long and used as an example because we're innovative, we creative, we come up with out-of-the-box ideas and a number of other things to push forward change in our communities," Breed responded. "And I think that sadly, you know, with the previous president, it was a target."
