[@Gman-du7up]

@@extremetrollface The cops do stop and help deter crime. You cant have proactive police officers when the city wont allow it. The issue is the law makers, the district attorneys, the judges etc. Cops enforce the laws that are written. Once a person gets a citation or goes to jail the cop has no say if the charges will get dropped or how long an offender will stay in jail. Cops do an incredible amount of work, then the district attorneys office gets the case and either drop the charges or offer ridiculous plea deals and keep offenders in the community.

From “we want the cops gone” to “the cops abandoned us” is beyond hypocritical and says absolutely everything about these people.

The idiocy of calling your movement after French Revolution but ignoring the fact that those that started the French Revolution ended up dying on the guillotine they used to kill their “oppressors”.

French Revolution was probably the most influential historical revolt/movement in the western world. So being inspired by it is unsurprising. You know who else was? Our "founding fathers". Those guys in wigs who everyone in the US licks the nuts of. A lot of good things end poorly. Thats the way of the world. Robespierre getting his wig clipped for being power hungry doesn't make the grievances of the proles any less understandable.

[@ellaowly]

Comments here are super interesting. One point I find contentious is the assertion that filming those experiencing drug addiction or homelessness is “exploitative” and “dehumanizing”. I’d actually argue that providing a face, name, and platform to these people is actually incredibly humanizing. We know these people’s names and are able to emotionally connect with them; I’ve seen multiple people in the comments talk about Devon and commend his character. The journalist is presenting a reality, a disturbing and uncomfortable reality, yes, but I believe it is up to the viewer to find humanity in those who are shown. I even believe that the journalist makes it especially easy to relate to all of the people he interviews, with their first names, faces, and stories being included. The inclusion of the phrase spoken by “you all are just one missed paycheck away from being out here too” is EXTREMELY poignant and I believe sets the whole tone for the whole video. You are not watching some abstract, detached, idea of a homeless person, you are rather watching yourself, if you fell on some bad luck and the government failed you. So, I disagree with the video being at all “dehumanizing”. We have to remember that dehumanization is two fold, we as humans should be able to find humanity in any representation of a person. However, I can see where it could be “exploitative”. These people’s full faces (and sometimes even names) are shown. The journalist has the good sense to blur the face of the woman who has just escaped being trafficked because he heard her share her story and recognized that it would be dangerous for her to be publicly presented, but you can only imagine that there where others filmed who were in similar situations, where an online presence or association with the subject matter could harm them. It’s a hard topic though. On one hand, blurring faces is more ethical, but it contributes to dehumanization of the subject, as faces are incredibly important for connection. I guarantee that we would not feel as connected to Devon if his face or name were not included. Half of the humanization of a subject is up to the viewer, yes, but the journalist has an ethical obligation to make that task as easy as possible. But I believe that this kind of journalism is necessary to expose comfortable, ignorant humans to the uncomfortable reality of other humans in order to inspire compassion and reform. But, do these few people shown in horrible situations deserve to be vehicles to inspire change at the cost of their anonymity and possible safety? I don’t know. This all being said, I’m not the biggest fan of Mr. Choe, I don’t know if he ever claimed to be a journalist but he seems much more like a political activist pushing an agenda than someone interested in sharing nonpartisan, simple truths. He has his biases and regularly reminds the audience of them (not very journalistic). I personally have a hard time taking anyone seriously who uses the phase “soyboy” without a heavy dose of irony. At least Mr. Anthony and the woman who Tyler accompanied were open about being activists and had no pretenses of journalism. But I do feel like I have to mention how abhorrent it is to use people in a vulnerable situation to fight your protest for you. I assume that in that situation, the homeless people who were moved into the parks by the protesters (who got to go home to their cozy houses) got extra harassed by police and plenty of other unpleasantness, all because they were promised basic aid. Crazy thing to admit on camera. This is definitely an ethical failure on behalf of the protestors, and a systemic failure on behalf of the city, if these people wanted aid but had to resort to a quid pro quo situation instead of getting free services from the city (who are literally supposed to do that, that’s what our taxes are for). Back to Choe, I feel like I do have to say that I respect how he has formed relationships with some people on the street (if what he implies and shows is true), which indicates that he is connected to the issues at hand, rather than commenting on them from a disconnected distance, which is a lot more than most politicians, journalists, and activists of any political ideology can say. Anyways essay over sorry for pretentious language it’s the only way I know how to write. And sorry it’s so long, the vid rly got me thinkn, which I suppose means it did its job!

[@ZeriocTheTank]

I was homeless at one point in my life, and I have to agree with some of the people that say that the missions are dirty and unsafe. That was my experience as well. I ended camping out by a railroad track where there wasn't any homeless around. Eventually I got a job, saved up my money & moved on. During that time I rented some space at a storage unit, so all of my stuff was somewhere more secure. Took my showers at a gym, and on my days off I avoided any location where the homeless would hang out. There is a category of homeless people that maintain a cleaner appearance & actually blend into society rather well. Unless you spotted them leaving their camp, you probably never guessed..

[@krystopher3755]

We gotta hear more about this story bro please share mire

[@ZeriocTheTank]

@krystopher3755 I don't exactly know what to share. I wasn't on drugs, so I didn't have an addiction story & like I mentioned I avoided the homeless for the most part. Although my time at the shelter meant that some of them knew me. What I'll say is pay attention to some of the people that you notice that are regulars are Starbucks, Whole Foods or any location with wifi that someone can stay for a long period of time as long as they're a customer. There might be a "high class" homeless person there. I became homeless because I was lazy, lost my job & was too lazy to look for another job. I was more interested in playing video games or just not being responsible at all. Eventually I was forced to be responsible. I'll admit that I even bought a laptop while homeless just so I could play some video games on my days off while homeless. Some people just assumed I was working on my laptop, but if you looked at my screen (and I didn't alt tab out of the game) you'd see the truth.

I mean if you watched the whole vid, idk if police are equipped to help drug users. All the crime is connected to desperation of living situations. Like the lady they showed with kids, 3 jobs, and still homeless. She didn't take drugs and that was suprising. It's hard to not do drugs when your reality is bleak and has no "light at the end of the tunnel" Another guy mentioned as well and backed by stats, that you're closer to a homeless persons in terms of wealth than you are to being an upper class even as an average citizen. I think compassion is needed and proper mental health and medical support. How is incarcerating a vulnerable population helping them? Esp if statistics report high recidivism and relapse after prison. I believe a more mental health and educational support can go a long way. And police are not equipped nor trained to handle that situation nor should they. Most likely can with support of massive amounts of social workers, and mental health professionals. But as a nation (USA) we need to understand that punitive measures do very little against crime.

The irony You'd be hard pressed to find a homeless person who is not pro socialism/communism, which historically has been nothing but systematic oppression all over the world. That's probably because there is only up from down. Poor people also dont sympathize for people who worked hard for their wealth. Many are also on drugs and not thinking right and contradict themselves constantly. It's amazing how "right wing" has become a negative thing in their world. Ie.. God, capitalism, freedom, free speech, secure borders, ect. Also, black people are systematically being conditioned to believe everything negative that happens to them is because they are black. They blame everything on a white system. They don't lock black people up longer. They lock repeat offenders up longer and poor people who can't get a decent lawyer.

And in this scenario, the people who killed George Floyd and sparked all this bullshit were (in the order of blame): George Floyd His drug dealer who sold him a fentanyl laced speedball And the crowd of cop-haters who decided before anything had happened that the police were racist and they needed to protect the poor black man (cause you know, black people are incapable of protecting themselves so white people like you have to do it for them, right?) They chose to do this by forming a tight perimeter, aggressively screaming at and arguing with officers preventing them from clearing the scene. The lack of cleared and safe scene is literally the reason that the paramedics nearby testified as to why they did not move in when Chauvin called in to request medical attention for Floyd. So yeah, everything this video references, everything that sparked the initial events and the protests is all based off bullshit that none of y'all ever educated yourselves on.

"It's not about the drugs," said the addict that was literally tweaking out.

[@levii4146]

It's not. It's about bad local economic circumstances and a lack of social security and community which breeds addiction, which then manifests itself as drug addiction. Drug addiction is a symptom, not a cause.

​@@levii4146if that is meant as mitigating citcumstances, i can sympatihize with people having it rough but i can't help but feel you use this as an excuse to take people's own agency out of the equation... feels a bit dishonest.

[@orated762]

@@levii4146 Economic circumstance are very minor in these peoples case, they've been on these streets for decades. Its mental illness, drug addiction is the cover story. 90% of these people grew up in dysfunctional households and are ignorant to how to live a "normal" life, or are choosing to fight the status quo.

Typical blue state lmao

Mental Health is the root cause a lot of the time, a lot of addicts turn to drugs because of trauma

[@rudydaberry122]

It’s crazy how those chop weirdos wanted the cops gone and when they needed the police and first responders they wanted them back even after they wanted them gone in the first place, and had the nerve to STILL put blame on the cops when they couldn’t go into the occupied territory. Absolutely disgusting people

Lol I was looking for this comment didn't the guy even say they invited the homeless over there to keep the police out? Police hate is dumb as in all things there are a few bad eggs but the majority of police are doing their best TO DO THERE JOB and even if there job is sometimes being a asshole DONT BE A DUMBASS and they usually don't even need to talk to you. The whole gorge Floyd thing this man needs to educate himself cause gorge Floyd was a piece of shit and I'm pretty sure everyone knows that by now...

I worked there as an essential medical worker, and that city was dirty and so many young homeless. Horrible! The way this mayor treated police, no wonder they transferred out. I refused to extend my contract.

So I've seen it bad in Philadelphia, at a place called Kensington. Only spent time passing through, and it is like the apocalypse. I destroyed my liver by drinking wine, but when covid hit I switched to Vodka. Then when I went to quit I was told I had days to live. This was May. Kidneys failed due to the liver in September. Anyway so I'm no saint. So I had an orientation with a doctor who told me most of the organs now come from Fentynal OD. Since opiates don't destroy the organs. I had to sign papers saying will I accept organs from someone who did drugs. (They test it. Under 1% chance to get a transmittal disease, and an even lower one to get one of the ones that isn't treatable.) Anyway that shook me. Thought I would get one from an accident or something. I see addicts walking now, and I'm like damn. One of these lost people is going to give me a chance to live. (If I live to have a ch!nice at it. Doctors say it is a miracle i just celebrated an other year. 2022, I was in the hospital for 8 out of 12 months, and 85 pounds at one point. Detoxing nearly killed me.) Sorry for digressing. Either way I'm liberal, but those politicians are idiots. Those who all cops are just as bad. Decriminilzing drugs worked since they had a huge social net that included mental health. Without that net, law enforcement, rules, and support? You just create a society of chaos. Locking everyone up doesn't work. Either does this, clearly.
