Schaaf said although she still supports the diversion of funds to social services, in order to curb the increasing violence, she’ll ask the city council to stop the reversal that is supposed to take effect next year, according to The Associated Press.

“When those messages and services are not effective … the consequences must be swift and certain,” Schaaf told reporters Monday on a Zoom call. “There is nothing progressive about unbridled gun violence.”

This decision comes after three people were killed this weekend, making the total number of homicides this year 127.

Along with the shifting of funds, the Oakland City Council voted to spend $18 million of programs targeted at stopping street crime and aiding homelessness back in June.
