"We call this the tension relief campaign," said Rev. Ishmael Burch of St. Andrew Missionary Baptist Church. Sparked by the recent shooting of Kenneth Harding, Jr., a parolee who police said they stopped for possible fare evasion on the T-line, three church pastors handed out money on a Muni platform in Bayview on Monday to help commuters will their fares on the T-line, reports KTVU. Muni records show that the T-Line has one of the highest rates of far evasion in the system. The ministers say they bought fares for more than 200 passengers on Monday, and they plan to continue helping out commuters through the rest of the week. [KTVU]
