New York City just handed the keys to “community safety” over to someone with a record of cozying up to radical, anti-police activists and George Soros-style globalist money. Renita Francois is now Deputy Mayor for Community Safety—a fancy new office created just this month—and her résumé reads like a woke activist’s wish list. Her last job? Working as chief strategy officer for a Soros-backed lobbying machine, one that champions gutting police budgets, shutting down jails, and rolling out the red carpet for soft-on-crime policies.
We’re supposed to believe that someone who built her career pushing anti-law enforcement talking points is now fit to manage public safety in America’s biggest city? Give us a break. The very group Francois came from pocketed over $50 million from Soros’ Open Society cash, all while helping elect politicians who want to shatter the law-and-order foundations of our communities. They don’t hide their agenda: less police, more so-called “restorative justice,” and pie-in-the-sky “community solutions” that ignore real victims.
Francois isn’t just getting an office—even the name sounds like a joke—she’ll oversee hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars and control life-and-death decisions around citywide violence, mental health, and hate crime responses. And let’s not forget, the Office of Community Safety is now an umbrella monster swallowing up multiple departments under the banner of “prevention” and “dignity.” Translation: more bureaucracy, less actual protection for the people who need it most.
Of course, the leftist mayor is preaching that this is a “relentless investment” in keeping New Yorkers safe. But let’s get real—their idea of safety is less about stopping crime and more about handing out excuses. For decades, these anti-police social engineers have told us that the only thing stopping a utopia is not enough taxpayer money in the hands of unaccountable, woke policymakers. Meanwhile, honest citizens are left dodging bullets and watching their neighborhoods crumble.
Is this what New Yorkers voted for? A city run by activists with open hostility to the police, fueled by Soros millions, and obsessed with turning every real public safety crisis into a social justice experiment? If this is progress, it’s the kind that’s driving hardworking people to flee for the suburbs. How long before “community safety” just means safety for the criminals and politicians, and not for the families who built this city?
