We had city commission candidates in my area who expressed similar sentiments ("He says ... the city is not doing enough to deal with the homeless population and crime. He wants to improve the budget for both police and street maintenance").
Seems it's easy to think any attention is good attention if you believe the subject of your attention is more sidewalk detritus than person.
That statement could have been take from either one of those council members. Like they have almost verbatim statements. The big tell is they want to "add more first responders" but just mean more cops.
