In a recent wave of discussions surrounding crime in San Francisco, former President Trump has suggested the deployment of the National Guard to address rising concerns, naming the city as a potential target for federal intervention. Tech billionaire Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO, has publicly supported this call, stating that the city lacks sufficient police presence. This has sparked a backlash from local leaders, including San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie, who argue that federal intervention is unnecessary as crime rates have shown improvement, with homicides on track to reach record lows. The proposals have stirred considerable controversy during the opening of the Dreamforce conference, where Benioff attempted to navigate the political fallout from his comments. Other notable figures, including Elon Musk, have echoed the call for federal troops. Meanwhile, many city officials maintain that the intervention suggested by Trump and tech leaders is unwarranted.
