She told residents last week that she believes policing is an \u201cimportant tool\u201d to address some of the neighborhood\u2019s woes, which include widespread drug dealing, a surge in fatal overdoses and a spike in gun violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time that the reign of criminals who are destroying our city \u2026 come(s) to an end,\u201d Breed said at a news conference in City Hall on Tuesday, flanked by department heads and Supervisors Catherine Stefani and Ahsha Safa\u00ed. \u201cIt comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement, more aggressive with the changes in our policies and less tolerant of all the bulls \u2014 that destroyed our city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n[T]he push for more officers will likely draw the most attention, landing amid a national reckoning over the role of police in vulnerable communities. It also marks a shift in messaging from the Breed administration, which for the past year has focused on creating programs that remove law enforcement from interactions with those struggling with homelessness, mental health issues and drug use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In February, as Breitbart News reported, Breed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/law-and-order\/2021\/02\/26\/san-francisco-to-redistribute-120-million-from-police-to-black-community\/\">proposed<\/a> redistributing $120 million from law enforcement to organizations purporting to help the black community.
