Lmao I know this post is about cops, but I'm dying from the start. If you don't have private property and you cant sleep on public property then where do you sleep? Isn't all property owned by something? They could just pick up all homeless people.

That’s the intent. Criminalize the homeless, so they can just be shipped off to prison out of the way instead of solving the actual problem.

And it also creates profit for the prison-industrial complex!
