Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says America’s tech capital has a police problem, and he’s welcoming President Donald Trump’s pitch to send National Guard troops to yet another Democrat-led city. “We don’t have enough cops, so if they can be cops, I’m all for it,” Benioff told The New York Times on Friday. Trump has already sent troops to Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Memphis, but courts have blocked attempts to deploy troops to Chicago and Portland.
Main Idea: Marc Benioff said he would support Trump sending National Guard troops to San Francisco because he believes the city does not have enough police.
Key Points:
More police or National Guard support in San Francisco could bring public safety concerns, higher taxpayer costs, and tension over using troops in city life.
