What's disgusting is that they had to live on the beach in the first place. Tax the purchase of homes that are twice the median for an area as much as 20%. Use that money to fund tax credit for building affordable housing

How far are we away from exterminating the poor? Pretty scary when you consider 78% of Americans live check to check, own more debt than anything else, and are one check away from homelessness ourselves 馃槺

We are the richest country the world has ever seen and we cannot provide housing for all of our people. Shameful.

I use a craps die to teach folks 6 Points of Police Reform: 1. END militant police force 2. END "qualified immunity" for police officers 3. Administer internal affairs EXTERNALLY 4. MANDATORY BODY CAMS 5. END no-knock raids 6. END mandatory minimums

What is most disturbing is the fact that in the world's richest country, people without homes are having to live rough on the beach, militarized and overly aggressive police just seem the norm in the good old US of A.

Extreme force, yes. People in the tents criminals yes. Until people can call out what鈥檚 right and wrong nothing will ever change. How do the cops know they don鈥檛 have weapons? Why do these people think it鈥檚 ok to pitch a tent on the beach?
