Wow- the power of blogging!

I seriously, seriously was affected by this officer’s treatment. I don’t do well with mistreatment- worse than others, as indicated by my friend not being quite as traumatized as I was. But the fact that others have written to say they were also abused by this person at least shows that
1) I was right to be upset
2) It was nothing about me, but all about her
3) blogging about the situation is the only way I could have known the first two things

Thanks to everyone for speaking up!

I had a similar nightmare with Officer K Randall just yesterday. I couldn’t agree more about the level of hostility and aggressive confrontation with which she executes her job. This is a very nasty woman who is obviously using her badge and uniform to vent a lot of pent-up anger.

She cited me unfairly for a fare violation (the transfer had expired shortly before I EXITED the Powell St. Station, not before I boarded the streetcar for the return trip). She treated this a major offense and was incredibly disrespectful. Yes, this is extortion. And yes, Office K Randall is a disgrace to SFPD and San Francisco in general.

wow, i had a similar thing happen to me last Saturday at Powell Station (the station probably most used by tourists) and although I’m from SF and use Muni occassionally, I didn’t know to go to the other side of the station to pay. I suppose since I actually live here I’ll have to appear in court to contest it, but seeing that the ticket might actually be beat, I think I’ll go through with it. What a pain! Thanks for your story, veloricion!

Thanks for sharing, Kerry! Now I don’t feel quite as singled out . . . but I guess I still need to learn how to, when confronted with a wall of anger and hostility, just observe it and keep my emotional distance and deal with the fallout of the interaction (the ticket) later. THAT will be a challenge. How, when facing an “authority” that is out of control, to not have your blood pressure go through the roof? May I someday be so evolved!

I was cited by K. Randall once myself…her level of hostility really is above and beyond the call of duty. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one!

I can’t really figure out where to send the letter. Where did you send yours?

Thanks so much, in advance
