F26 Occupy Skid Row, Los Angeles: Police harass, arrest the homeless
Channel: MikePeake
Date: 2012-02-27

Gary Boatwright, Skid Row dweller, explains the situation, after Captain Frank went to the trouble to stop by in an unmarked vehicle to demand, under the so-called "Safer Cities Initiative" that he fully collapse his tent...we're down there with cameras to insure good behaviour from police and corporate-owned private "security".

Why are they criminalizing the homeless? To clear areas of them (with zero money to actually house and feed them, God forbid the city do THAT) so developers can make money upgrading old buildings into ritzy lofts, etc. Check THIS out:

So if you're a developer, the city loves you. If you're homeless, GET OUT. Plenty of money for cops to hassle the homeless, none to help the homeless. Police captains and lts. on skid row, ordering around the helpless...

Here is Captain Frank again on M19 giving orders just before police attacked us without warning, "oddly" looking directly at ME:
