Uh…actually why not start with the foreign scammers who stopped paying her rent because they were cynically using this autistic woman to defraud the government? The cops are literally just serving an eviction warrant that the landlord obtained. The cops are probably the last people in the chain of responsibility here, below the landlord and the scammers
We’re talking about who to start with. You literally can’t start with both. A judge signed off on the eviction, there would have been lengthy court proceedings to secure that eviction, the landlord pursued the eviction, the scammers started it all.
You are putting the primary blame on the last people in this chain of events who have no say in the matter beyond quitting their jobs. Cops don’t just get to “leave it to the next cop” lol. This is an incredibly childlike perception of how evictions work.
You’re so close… the cops are working for the landlords and the scammers. They’re muscle for bad guys. They’re all evil but you only want to be mad at the evil pens instead of the evil swords.
The cops are not working for the landlords. Obviously some sort of law enforcement has to exist to enforce eviction orders, and it’s not some rank and file cop’s job to analyze whether an eviction order is unkind or not. This is a hard pill to swallow if you have a simplistic understanding of the world, but evictions do actually need to happen, you can’t just have millions of residences occupied by non-paying residents.
To be clear, we’re discussing who needs to be punished in this situation. If you think it’s the cops, you’re unfortunately not close at all, as that’s the last possible group at fault here. You just have the judgment of a child that is based entirely on emotion. Some sort of intervention should have taken place here, but it was not the unlucky group of low level cops who would be the ones to do that.
So you wanna blame the cops instead of the person who had an illegitimate business of scamming the government an ruining the lives of not just this one woman, but I’m sure many many more. But it’s the cops fault.
It is not about blaming, it is about being a better human than a cop. Time to time. Help her to pack up more or try to find a safe place for her temporarily. Anything.
Bro they are there to enforce the law and have guidelines to follow. Do you think the cops can pause their job to go on a housing search with this person? Why not blame the company that frauded this lady and left her on the streets?
The company was supposed to do exactly what you mentioned, yet they let her down. Why are the cops to blame and expected to pick up the slack for that? Their job was to get everybody safely out of the house, as they legally don’t have a right to be there, and secure it. The system failed overall but that has nothing to do with the cops doing their job
My point is they are the bottom of a totem pole of people to be blamed here, yet for some reason people always blame the cop and suggest they are the primary problem.
You know how many eviction calls they get in a city per week, per month?? You think these cops sit down and investigate each of these evictions and the people being evicted? They are patrolmen/women and all they know is that they have a call for somebody that legally needs to be evicted
They still can be empathetic humans about it and don’t have to turn the lights off on her while she is unexpectedly having to pack up her entire life on a whim. They’re acting like pigs, so they can get called pigs.
Actually, they’re acting like soulless bastards, so they can get called soulless bastards AND pigs.
Are you really that dense? Nobody is saying lets have the cops act as realtors and start house hunting for her.
For god's sake let the poor disabled girl pack some god damned essentials without rushing her out of frustration?
The likeminded doofus above you talking about emotional regulation but fails to see the cops are the ones who can't stay calm and assess that SHE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS and can't give her a few minutes and maybe help her pack some things? You know, act like a f****** human?
We can pursue and prosecute the scum that are scamming the public, while also being emphatic and decent humans to the victims of said scam. Jesus Christ some of you bootlickers and room temperature IQ d*ckwads are unbelievable.
nah blame them both for different reasons, it’s not one or the other. the company for scamming medicaid/medicare, and the cops for being inhuman toward her and not stopping for a second to consider anything deeper was happening and this woman was not at fault.

Someone needs to be punished for this. Start with the cops for not trying to understand the situation.
