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.
