San Diego Mayor Bob Filner apologizes for his behavior in this frame from a video produced by the city of San Diego Thursday, July 11, 2013. Filner, embroiled in turmoil less than a year after being elected San Diego’s first Democratic mayor in 20 years, is facing old questions about his confrontational style and a new challenge over allegations that he sexually harassed women. Filner on Thursday rejected calls from prominent former supporters to resign but he apologized for mistreating women and pleaded with voters for patience, saying, “I need help.” (AP Photo/City of San Diego)
