    When I see SF politicians advertising their enthusiasm to "clean up" the streets and I know that what they mean is using police forces to cause people with no other alternative to live in even *more* marginalized scenarios, I wonder how it can be considered humane.

        How is it acceptable to use a framing that's worded as though real people, human beings, are equivalent to some sort of detritus?

        For two days in a row now I have bicycled past places where the people with little hope or opportunity live, and seen multiple squad cars dispatched, officers milling about and taking photos of the needy with their phone cameras, presumably to log their scores. It hurts to see.

        As it's said — the law in its majestic equality forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges.

        I read that as 'science fiction' politicians. Must be distopian.

        Politics, legislation, enforcers...ways to homogenize fear by removing compassion. It’s only feudalism with added hanging chads.
