A San Francisco business is offering a self-defense workshop specifically for public transit riders, following recent attacks on BART and Muni.We've seen violent crimes happen on both on BART and Muni. Now a local business in San Francisco is offering a self-defense workshop specifically for those who take public transit.79-year-old woman in San Francisco, who was brutally kicked in the stomach"I hear from my friends.
She is one of the students who signed up for a class being advertised as a public transit self-defense workshop. Moses Rickett, with Tactica Krav Maga, is the instructor behind it."First of all, de-escalation and prevention. That is the first key to self-defense. Not fighting. Fighting is never the answer but when it is it's the only answer."
Let's look at the data. SFMTA's Chief security officer says crimes are still happening, but there is not an uptick. SFPD is reporting about 2.14 Muni related crimes per 100,000 miles. "Because ridership is still as low as it is those crimes are still occurring and it's creating a perception of fear and feeling unsafe," said Kimberly Burrus, SFMTA chief security officer.
Burrus said their partnership with SFPD is key to keep riders safe and pointed to arrest made in the attack of the 79-year-old woman.
How about more police. Law and order?
Or put cops on the fucking trains.
So those people can get injured worse when they fight back? I guess beefed up security wasn’t in the budget…
