San Francisco Mayor London Breed on Tuesday announced a new ballot measure for the March election, which critics began blasting even before the idea was formally announced.
The ballot measure would ease restrictions on when police can chase suspects by car, reduce officers’ paperwork requirements and give them greater ability to use surveillance technology.
The mayor and other city leaders will provide more details of the measure during a news conference, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at Alamo Square. Even before Breed outlined her plans in detail, Daniel Lurie – founder of Tipping Point and who is running for mayor himself – criticized her proposal. "After spending more than five years as mayor blaming everyone but herself for the city’s public safety crisis, the mayor is pointing fingers at a commission and police department that she already controls," Lurie said in a statement.
He said Breed could have appointed civilian police commissioners who would have pursued these expanded police-power policies five years ago when she was elected mayor.He added: "The body has since become her latest target of blame for the city’s woes, joining her passing the buck to the Board of Supervisors, the District Attorney, and judges, among others."
