As part of an ongoing service equity strategy shared by SFMTA in response to nationwide demonstrations against police brutality, Muni will no longer transport police officers to protests. This decision didn’t appear to sit well with the San Francisco Police Officers Association, who replied to the transit agency on Wednesday morning.
“Hey Muni,” wrote the SFPOA. “Lose our number next time you need officers for fare evasion enforcement or removing problem passengers from your buses and trains. Shouldn’t be a San Francisco Police Department officer’s job anyway. Chief should stop using us for this.”
