Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is calling on San Francisco to refund and empower its police department.
Benioff reacted to a local news report on Thursday about the San Francisco Police Department being barred from making pretextual stops — stops in which officers use a minor traffic offense as an opening to investigate a driver for contraband or other crimes."San Francisco must REFUND the Police not continue to DEFUND the Police. Our Police need to be empowered now — not this new terrible decision to end pretext stops," Benioff wrote on X.
As the San Francisco Standard reported, the San Francisco Police Officers Association has defended the practice, mentioning instances where minor infractions such as a broken tail light led to the discovery of drugs and guns.Benioff, a San Francisco native, called for the city to increase its police force from 1,400 officers to over 2,000 within the next 18 months and for officers to "be fully empowered to enforce ALL laws.
