This man was hired to help citizens with their requests for information and we paid for a
$100,000 position. It should not be about screwing over citizens. | did not want that
position in the legal office and this position is certainly of no help to me.
They called Risk Management to have me removed, but | would not go with them. | sat
down on the floor against a wali by a door. | said that i was just going to sit there until
someone provided me with information. Five armed police officers showed up to ask me to
leave the office. Of course, | said yes, | wasn't looking for a hostile exchange, just a
peaceful protest.
Before the officers arrived, Attorney Leonard showed up as | was sitting on the floor and
escalated the situation. She claimed that | was looking in her office. Her office door was
open and | was Just sitting on the floor against the only wall away from the clerk and
Attorney Neumann. She photographed me sitting on the floor. | was not spying by looking
in her office, she left the door open. She then claimed that | was hostile and that she felt
threatened. | am an almost 60 year oid woman sitting on the floor looking up at her and
she found that to be a threatening, hostile posture. She kept repeating how threatened
she felt. She then opened the window because she did not know my covid exposure. |
was wearing a mask and would never come to City Hall if | thought | had any exposure
risk.
Attorney Leonard’s positions to escalate and lie about the situation is concerning. | don’t
think she really felt threatened or found me hostile. She wanted me arrested and so many
of you leaders in City Hall have wanted. She was frustrated that it took the police 10
minutes to come. “What is taking them so long?”. She kept asking. | responded that they
probably have more important work to do, but at that moment and in her eyes, | was the
threat of the moment. Had | been black person, | would have surely been arrested for her
words. | am a well off white person, so that did not happen. She is clearly a lady who has
harmed a lot of people.
Interestingly enough, two weeks ago the legal office invited me to city hall to review
documents for many hours at time with a legal assistant present. They didn't ask me to
take a COVID test for that event. Now, suddenly, Attorney Leonard is frantic about COVID
cooties.
The police explained that | had trespassed and banned me from City Hall for 1 year. If |
enter City Hall | MAY be arrested. They did not say | would be arrested. They told me that
| need to schedule an appointment; | explained how frustrating and futile this is as the city
will not respond to my questions or my requests to meet to discuss matters. By the way,
the City website does not say that you need an appointment to go into the legal office and
the gatekeeper sweet lady let me in with no questions asked.
| refuse to be thrown out of a public building. This is wrong. The way our government is
treating its Citizen is a travesty. | am not some barbarian at the gate. | am a citizen
requesting help. | am almost 60 years old and | have never had a speeding ticket, and it
