We discuss current LA events & problems with homelessness & the police that came to a head last week in Echo Park Lake. We give the backdrop to this showdown between cops & citizens trying to block a homeless sweep. Danny weighs in with his experience working in areas with a big homeless population, & we offer causes as well as possible solutions. We also clear up some online misinformation about the event, & look at how easily and quickly it can spread. We also talk about how homeless sweeps work, & when they don't, how these huge encampments pop up, & where everyone comes from. This episode doesn't have an emergency story, just an emergency situation.
