By Annika Hom, Mission Local February 17, 2022 After a viral TikTok revealed that the San Francisco Central Police Station Twitter account had "liked" a site that made "a mockery" of George Floyd, Chief Bill Scott apologized and vowed at Wednesday's Police Commission meeting to investigate the incident. "The site is disrespectful and disgraceful, and personally, I find it offensive and disgusting," Scott said. "Any social media association with this site, or any site similar to this, is a clear violation of our established SFPD social media policies." The San Francisco Central Police Station liked a Feb. 7 tweet from the Twitter account @FloydiesNFT, which links to NFTs of George Floyd. That account wrote on Feb. 4 that fellow "Floydies" are able to "come with an N-word pass" and can use the "hard 'r'." The Twitter account has roughly 6,600 followers.
