Venice Beach Homeless Update



Venice Beach, Friday 3/11/22 filmed by Cop Watch Venice

"The Venice beach boardwalk is looking as dirty as ever, but has way less homeless people than a couple of weeks ago. Council member Mike Bonin has apparently given up on everything since announcing he's quiting, and has refused all city services for weeks. LAPD has been chasing everyone inland to annoy neighbors intentionally, all as new people show up everyday. Some were chased out of a different areas and some, dropped off in buses like the sheriff's dropping off recently released inmates and like all the hospitals emptying out and releasing their homeless patients here. This isn't legal, but happens all the time. There's still no shelter or housing offers for anyone as the city wastes more and more on pointless services and outreach.

Sanitation is out for a "major homeless encampment clean up" and skip their first two locations because everyone moved. They still get paid to do it, and sat around wasting the time. They wound up on 3rd Ave where most people already left or were in the process of leaving. They stood around and watched as the homeless people did their jobs for them as always. And they of course kicked me out and spent plenty of funds on keeping me out, just so they wouldn't be filmed. Not only wasteful and probably illegal, it's also very pathetic.

Everyday millions of dollars out of Homelessness funding is wasted like this because the voting public doesn't care about people and apparently like the government stealing from them."
