A question about homeless people during the protest

With the protests and brutality going on,what can the homeless do?
They live on the street,there is nowhere to curfew to. There's not enough spaces in shelters and shelters are not safe places. Do the cops just kick the shit out of them because they are on the street? A homeless person could be set up easily by right-wing thug looter "giving them something" wanting a cop to think the homeless person 2as a looter. I'm worried innocent people might get blamed beaten and hauled to jail.

I'm just wondering anyone looking out for them?

I guess it's fortunate, lots of homeless aren't in the areas where protest are held. Hoyt Jun 2020 #2

Of a homeless man being attacked by what looked like protestors or looters during a demonstration. I am not sure if it was real or who was attacking him. I think homeless people are being allowed to be wherever they are after curfews in many cities.

But, that’s definitely a concern.

That’s based mostly on viewing Atlanta protests, and familiarity with area. But I’m sure it’s not making things better for homeless.

In my location many have been chased out of malls and shopping centers where they used to meet,, charge phones, use banks, and get meals. Some are living in wooded areas and are isolated

Those with cars are faring better than those without.

I do not think CDC. or officials deciding on shutdowns have really taken homeless people into account, at least in my area.

And the protests must be frustrating to them. It sickens me they can't use resources they depend on.
