Benioff's National Guard dream forces retreat

Here's an idea: How about giving everyone the opportunity to have a fulfilling life?

Crime is not the result of babies being born wanting to rob or kill people.

San Francisco’s political establishment rounded on Marc Benioff over the weekend after the Salesforce founder backed the idea of sending in the National Guard to clean up the city’s streets.

By late Sunday Benioff took to Twitter to clarify that he believed the best people to manage public safety in San Francisco was… San Francisco, and that “Salesforce is proud to support the Mayor through the Partnership for San Francisco.”

Benioff, previously seen as a broadly liberal benevolent benefactor to the city by the bay, seemed to follow the path of his fellow tech CEOs in cozying up to the Trump administration, just ahead of the company’s Dreamforce conference in the city.
