For years, Francesca Hong has made it very clear that she wants to defund the police and abolish prisons. Instead, Hong has reportedly "reversed" her stance on defunding the police and her claims of police racism. "My views have only become stronger in that I'm serious about public safety and I will not abolish the police. And I want to focus on stopping violent crime and giving law enforcement the resources and the training that they need, but ensure that we are also holding accountable law enforcement that does not follow the law," Hong said. Hong should be pressed on what "public safety" means and why she constantly uses that phrase instead of law enforcement.
