People consider the homeless a public nuisance and ask for the police to remove them.
Basically, there are lot of areas that are technically owned by someone but not really maintained. Little patches of land near gas stations, etc. Or public places like parks or under underpasses. Slowly, you get tent cities that pop up and will be tolerated for a few months, until people start calling the police.
The police are supposed to warn people beforehand to clear out - we all know how much American cops respect procedure and humans rights of course. But after that warning is given, they’ll come through and trash everything. Identification documents, medications, personal photos - they don’t give a shit if they’re tossing out someone’s insulin. The ID being tossed can be especially devastating - if you lose all of you ID documents - how do you prove who you are to get new ones? This is a problem social workers/advocates deal with all the fucking time.
They do but THIN BLUE LINE and BLUE LIVES MATTER. Middle class people are fed a constant stream of fear, homeless people going crazy because drugs and murdering your family is a common trope. So they support the pigs when they engage in their asshole behavior.
The homeless have created their own problem through their flaw in moral character. They will be saved if they return to the fold and accept our god into their lives. Otherwise the punishment from the police will force them off the path to eternal damnation. We do it for their own good.
The police keep taking their tents and ripping them up.
Not an American here, why do they do that? Do they not get some kind of backlash from people or smth?

I know its sarcasm. But I didn’t understand one bit of what you just said, mate.
