candidates for the top job in the city are reacting. Christian. >> Yeah, this story still reverberating really throughout San Francisco. We were on hand as the Da just made her announcement and as you said, this is, of course, an election year. So public safety is top of mind for many voters. The impact of the brazen daylight robbery attempt and shooting of San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is still reverberating throughout the city. Mayor London Breed acknowledged that it is another high profile incident for a city that is looking to rewrite headlines about out-of-control crime. She says as shocking as it was her recent push to support law enforcement helped track down the 17 year old suspect from Tracy. Within minutes, she pointed to recent data showing crime trending downward. >> But I want to just say because because everyone says it when something happens to you, all that number stuff goes out the door. And I totally understand that. But we are not letting up. And the fact is, what we put in place worked, and it sends a strong message that if you do come to San Francisco and you do commit these crimes, you will be arrested. >> Former mayor Mark Farrell, who is running to unseat Mayor Breed, said the shooting is yet another high profile black eye for San Francisco. He said it's a sign that new leadership with an eye on public safety is needed. >> She defunded the police department three years ago, stripped $120 million out of our police department budget, has mismanaged our police department. Where now overtime is getting capped and cut and is now blocking reform of our police commission that is making it harder for police officers to do the job on the streets of San Francisco. I'm running for mayor because I'm going to change that. Daniel Lowry said the shooting is a clear sign that previous leaders of the city have failed. >> He said that he intends to increase police staffing, so residents and visitors to San Francisco can feel safe in order for us to be able to draw conventions back, to draw tourism back, and to build our brand again globally, we have a lot of work to do, and the people I'm running against have created this perception, this sense of disorder. Supervisor Asha Safai, who is also running to unseat Mayor Breed, praised the quick work of officers on scene. He said that's the reason he's been pushing for creative ways to increase police staffing. And he says, citing data that crime is down doesn't make anyone feel safer. After a high profile incident like this. >> They want to hear what are you going to do about the problem, how are you going to solve it? And so my solution is get them out of their cars on the street. We have the overtime to pay for it. And then secondly, to get those numbers back up, let's give incentives like student loan forgiveness to get them to want to come work in San Francisco. >> And we also reached out to the president of the board of Supervisors, Aaron Peskin, who is also running for mayor. He sent me a statement reading in part, quote, turning this into a political football doesn't make San Francisco safer or represent who we are as a city. I'm representing by focusing on real public safety solutions, retaining 50 experienced officers at less cost than overtime via prop F, and legislating my college to community policing recruitment plan with forgivable loans. We were on hand for the Da as she made that announcement. From what we understand, that 17 year old will be charged in juvenile court at 130 tomorrow. We're live here in
