Invisible People Report:The Ultimate Guide to Calling the Police on Homeless People
In a word, dont.
If youve ever found yourself wondering if you should call the police on a homeless person, the answer is probably no.
Unfortunately, many people feel entitled to call the cops any time they are made uneasy or uncomfortable by a homeless person.
In many of these cases, little to no interaction actually takes place. The caller was never in any sort of danger. Yet the homeless person is still subjected to a potentially harmful visit from law enforcement. All because someone decided they didnt want to have to look at or share space with that person.

A team of Trump administration officials toured a California facility once used by the Federal Aviation Administration this week as they searched for a potential site to relocate homeless people, according to three government officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private tour.
President Trump has directed aides to launch a major crackdown on homelessness in California, spurring an effort across multiple government agencies to determine how to deal with sprawling tent camps on the streets of Los Angeles and other cities, officials said.
Trump is expected to visit California on Tuesday and Wednesday. One administration official with knowledge of Trumps visit to California said there were discussions about an announcement related to Californias growing homeless problem next week, but a second official said that any decision could be premature and that it was not on the current schedule for the trip.

I keep having this song running through my head
I feel so alone.
I play by the rules, went to school, work hard , lost it all.
Rebuilt from nothing, just to have the rug pulled from under.
Rebuilt again. Found a little happiness. Again, playing by the rules, worked hard. Lost it all.
I don't know why this song is in my head. It's just making me feel worse.
