Announced Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority Chief of Staff Scott Wilson:
“I want to apologize directly to the passengers who experienced this, and to everyone who has seen the video and felt its sting.”

But some seem to agree with Peterson. He launched a GoFundMe that has raised over $17,000.
