In a testy exchange with KTVU on Wednesday, Mayor London Breed defended San Francisco as safe despite the recent stabbing death of tech executive and the perception that The City is overly progressive and full of lawless behavior.
Breed also called some of the reporting surrounding this month's death of Cash App founder Bob Lee "inaccurate," but she refused to give details.
I understand that if it happens to you or your loved one, it does not matter. And our goal with making sure we have police officers, ambassadors, security cameras and a number of other things, especially in places where we have high foot traffic, that we're doing everything we can to ensure safety of the public. What we know about the Bob Lee case for many people is horrific. He was stabbed to death. He pleaded for help, made 911 call that is yet to be released.
We know that the Internet and social media is here to stay. It's not going anywhere. And people are going to jump to conclusions and speculate all they want. But we're going to continue to be responsible.
