City
Council continues to defy the demands of the Community regarding police
defunding to curb police violence, discrimination, homeless harassment,
and overspending. It has NOTHING on its agenda regarding shifting
funds to non-violent alternatives. Item #20
attempts to veto its own Commission report defending the
shelter-in-place needs of van-dwellers on Olive St.
The
D.A. and the SCPD have still not dropped inflated and groundless
charges against MARTY MIRABEL (“PIRATE”) for defending his friend Ben’s
vehicular home from a massive police raid in violation of CDC
“shelter-in-place” guidelines. After a gang of nearly a
dozen officers surrounded him and slammed Marty to the ground, police
continue to cite and harass Ben in spite of the CDC requirements and the
Martin
v. Boise decision prohibiting such official terrorism.
While
six motels have reportedly been funded to assist some of the
vulnerable houseless, many more remain half-empty. There are no indoor
areas set aside for the toxic air quality alerts, the smoke danger, and
cooling functions–particularly impactful of those
outside, and of the broader community–given the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dangerous COVID-19 vulnerable group shelters at the Vet’s Hall, Armory,
“Housing Mumblings” Paul Lee Loft, and Laurel St. continue to be the
main “go to” for police” as a warehousing “alternative”
when they threaten the visually “undesireable” outdoor camps.
Those
camps–in the Pogonip, along and under Hiway 1, along the levee,
continue to be starved of resources like porapotties, wash stations, and
trash pick-up’s. City Manager Martin Bernal’s Bumbuster Police,
Rangers, and Public Works crews seem to be removing or
reducing previous COVID-19 “emergency” accommodations in defiance of
public health needs. Encampments along the San Lorenzo pathway near
the Broadway bridge and along Hiway 1 at River St. have multiplied
exponentially after the City and County created more
refugees with their show-encampment in the Benchlands, running off the
larger camp that was there in a repetition of earlier homeless
dispersals. Food to those in the few hotels made available is
reportedly being cut back.
No
indication that vendors on Beach St. have been invited to resume their
family-sustaining sidewalk businesses down near the Boardwalk.

As Marty’s case in court reveals more police videos, more evidence may emerge of local “peacekeeping”.
