An ex-cop worked for just over 10 years in Oceanside, CA. Oceanside is a beach town between Camp Pendleton to the north, and San Diego to the south. Oceanside has been experiencing explosive growth/urban sprawl. Oceanside cop has written an opinion piece that was picked up by Fox (Fox hates Gavin Newsom) and a bunch of other websites.
His premise: "Lack of affordable housing is a problem, but it's not why we have such a huge increase in homeless camps and mentally ill people in California," he wrote. "I believe we have a massive drug addiction crisis, and no longer any tools to force anybody to change."
"Lack of affordable housing is a problem, but it's not why we have such a huge increase in homeless camps and mentally ill people in California," he wrote. "I believe we have a massive drug addiction crisis, and no longer any tools to force anybody to change."
There aren't words to describe the horrors I saw. And yet, in my opinion, civil rights advocates continue to stand in the way of reform," he continued.
I have a hunch, not verified by surveys, that people who are homeless, substance abusers and mentally ill are being squeezed out of red states, to the western states without freezing climates....so a few states are being burdened with what is actually a nationwide problem.
Suspending civil rights seems to be part of the Oceanside cop's solution. Chilling? Seems to be consistent with the Fox theme.
Thoughts?
