London Breed is already being attacked by people on the left for saying she wants to deal with the shoplifting mobs and clean up open drug use in the Tenderloin, the same for Lori Lightfoot who has asked the ATF to come in to help deal with the illegal guns in her city. In my opinion it is good to see mayors looking out for the victims rather than the criminals.
