I would think you guys would be praising this woman. Defunding the police was a bad idea. Some people with very good intentions fell for it. Sounds like she was one of them. Now she has seen she erred and is reversing her position. This is exactly the sort of person I want in government: someone who is willing to change their mind due to events. 
She wants more police but based on her earlier stance, she still wants some level of police reform as well. That is far preferable to some of you blowhards who always excuse the police no matter what they do and oppose all reasonable reforms. 

Reversing her position due to seeing the error of her ways...ok, it happens. 

Blaming others for betrayal when your actions fed the issue......not so much.

Perhaps she can organize the homeless, the drug adicts, and the unemployed criminals in her district into a neighborhood watch.  She could even go on night time walking patrols with those good citizens to deter crime and to build a utopian sense of community. Model it sort of after the Guardian Angels.  It could be named the Guardian Liberal Defunders or Your Next Victims, whichever fits.

If she does this I suggest they take lots of pooper scoopers with them on patrol.

In the video game The Witcher 3, there was a whole homeless syndicate that were the eyes and the ears of their particular leader. The king of the beggars.

"The Free City of Novigrad had known no king's rule for nearly two hundred years. Francis Bedlam surely has this fact in mind when he anointed himself the King of Beggars, a title that mocked the pomposity crowned heads while simultaneously stealing a bit of said pomp for itself. Bedlam was a pragmatic man, a trait of great use in his profession, which involved managing a network of thieves, beggars, tramps and street urchins that tricked through every part of the city.

His contacts provided him with the freshest gossip and tastiest morsels of information, and the cut he took of his "subjects" earnings guaranteed a sizeable income for the maintenance of his "court" in the Putrid Grove.

Francis despised fanaticism and prejudice in equal measure, which meant that mages fleeing the witch hunter's pincers often turned to him for protection.

Tim can spin anything.  Inept leadership.  Well ya see this is great!

Liberals love to create problems then change stance to try and make it look like they fixed a problem.  And they fool doorknobs like Tim so easily.  

Any adult with a brain could realize that defunding police would be a bad solution.  It isn't some great quality to totally suck and take terrible positions only to change tune once your voters finally realize that your ideas were stupid and had bad consequences.  

Exactly this.
