SFPD tweeted out the above apology yesterday afternoon regarding Brittney's horrible story about dealing with the department after being sexually assaulted on Muni , only to delete them minutes later. Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense—they should be making a public statement about this, reassuring everyone they do give a shit about sexual assaults and that this is a priority for them. But when asked why they removed the public apology, they responded “sorry the message was meant for only a few individuals.” Lame.

It’s a good thing they deleted those tweets, otherwise people might get their hopes up about SFPD.
glad someone has time to refresh twitter minute after minute.
It’s great to be a well connected middle class white lady. Hopefully this will help all women who ride the bus.
but i think the cops in el.a. are more sorry.
Here’s what SFMTA is spending your money on: five security and management morons hassling some guy over a camera at 5th and Mission parking garage.
Worried about being sexually assaulted on the bus?
Too bad!
They’ve got camera wielding terrorists to fight!

Feel free to let MTA director Ed Reiskin or the mayor’s office know how you feel about paying five employees to stand around harassing some random guy over a camera. I contacted them using the following, which could be useful for any concerns you might have about MUNI:
