, The homelessness in LA is a major problem and it’s known around the world. Mostly
police are the ones called to tent city to either remove them from where they are, arrest them, or
cite them. Its just that simple according to some people who don’t like where the city or cities
across the world are going. For this plan to work, you must have a strong trust and strong
cooperation between the citizens of LA, the homeless population, and the police department that
serves both sides. The issue of public trust can come from both sides of the community. The
homeless are not a big supporter of police because of the constant harassing by them to try and
comply with city ordinances, laws, and regulations. “As homelessness has increased in Southern
California, that means more officers responding to more calls where someone involved
potentially has a severe mental illness.” (Tinoco, 2020) So, the distrust arises from so much
harassment over the years by police, but we need to take into consideration the political climate
we currently live in. It would be easy if everyone came together that would mutually accept the
police department, citizens of LA, and LA business owners that are constantly affected by the
ongoing homeless problem that could make life very hard. I think to gain trust it would be wise
to have community meetings once or even twice a week. The community, police department, and
LA officials should get together and discuss options for the growing and ongoing problem facing
the state. Rebuilding trust will take time but can be achieved if something takes place. Both sides
need to listen to each side and figure out a solution that works for all. During the event, officers
used discretion by not arresting the man for all the illegal activity that was presenting and instead
talked to him and told him how to get help. Rather than being robot, the officer talked with the
man and did whatever he could to give valuable resources. He could have easily arrested the man
or sent him for treatment to the VA hospital.
