What a waste of resources. They just proved sweeps don't change crime rates.

Oh was this about crime prevention? I thought it was simply about giving cops more money and pumping dollerydoos into Silicon Valley's pockets.

Well they also love bullying the homeless; gets the cops something to do that isn’t murdering people over petty crimes and racism. Doesn’t get the public as riled up either, since most are already well practiced in ignoring the unhoused.
