San Francisco elected officials got into an escalating war of words this week after the Board of Supervisors' Rules Committee rejected one of the mayor's choices for a police commissioner. The mayor criticized the decision as being driven by politics instead of safety, leading to a rebuke from one lawmaker and support from others. The nominee, Debra Walker, is a current member of the Police Commission who was first appointed by Mayor London Breed in 2022.
We are seeing progress. We can't go backwards,' she said. Walker's nomination was rejected 2-0 by the rules committee, which had one member absent and another excused. Supervisors Ahsha Safai and Shamann Walton both voted against Walker's reappointment. Safai released a statement denouncing the mayor's response to the vote. 'Mayor Breed blasting the Board for not reappointing Debra Walker to the Police Commission is her usual petty politics,' he said.
