Chesa Boudin \u201cdefinitely don\u2019t make things easier\u201d in fighting crime.<\/p>\n<p>Host Don Lemon asked, \u201cMayor Breed pushed for cuts to police budgets after George Floyd. You have a progressive prosecutor who ran on promises to not prosecute prostitution, drug use, and dealing. Aren\u2019t those the things that are keeping you from, as the mayor is saying, cutting out the B.S. that\u2019s destroying your city?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Scott responded, \u201cWell, those things definitely don\u2019t make things easier. But look, as far as cutting our budget, our budget, I\u2019ve been \u2014 this is going into my sixth year here as the police chief and every year we\u2019re fighting for budgets, and if it\u2019s not one thing, it\u2019s the other. So, that\u2019s nothing new. The mayor declaring that the cuts this year will go to aid the African American community was just the focus of what was needed at that time. But we have the same discussion every year, just a different issue. So, as far as prosecutions and all that, the thing from the police department, our officers and our department, we need to be consistent in terms of what we do. And what I try to do Don, as the chief of police here, is keep us focused on what we need to do. People are asking for help. They don\u2019t want to see this behavior in their neighborhoods and we should do our jobs the best we can, give the prosecutors the best cases that we can give them and do that consistently. And we really can\u2019t worry about the things outside our control and we can\u2019t make excuses. We just have to do our jobs the best we can and stay focused on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s broadcast of CNN\u2019s \u201cDon Lemon Tonight,\u201d San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said that cuts to the police budget and the refusal to prosecute certain offenses by San &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1130421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1130421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1130421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1130421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1130421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1130421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
