Krewson was elected on a pledge to address the violence that ravages her city. Amid that backdrop, its not surprising that calls to defund police dont sit well with her. Yet Krewsons decision to publicly reveal the names and addresses of anti-police protesters has put her among the big city mayors facing closer scrutiny in the racially charged weeks after George Floyds death.
