I didn't mean to infer... (none / 0) (#7)

anything my friend, but I can see how you perceived so...my bad. I probably read a little too much into your point about safety.

Just stressing that the homeless, like everybody else, need to be free first and safe second.  We can't allow the police to violate our rights in the name of safety or anything else.  I can't speak for your neck of the woods, but we treat the homeless pretty lousy here in NY.  I myself have seen the homeless have their rights violated by the police on more than one occasion.  Guilty of simply occupying space and not looking so good.  If the police are responding to a complaint that's one thing...playing "guess who is on parole and search" is quite another.

I don't remember you mentioning your mom...hope she is free, safe, and well brother.
