here i am, my neighborhood is toney and affluent. that does not seem overindulgent. we all have our violent times. i had a 23-year-old shot down point blank at the marina. we have had 3 violent attacks against women. 3 of them at 10:00 with 30 minutes, all within walking distance to our own beat cops. the idea my district should not deserve a beat cop, those are not the kind of conversations that should be taking place. granted, what happened in the western edition was awful. it should have been dealt with by the police department. they did not need to take resources out of other communities, but it is their job to shift them around. there is a big difference between san francisco and the legislation in front of us. the only point i am trying to make is something that in my opinion could easily get through the board of supervisors. i don't think there would be a big problem trying to pass a foot beat program or adapting a solution policy. to make sure san francisco backs this, we have already done that. we have put money towards the evaluation report, and we find 30%
