Was this homeless camp raided and why would the police raid a homeless camp?

I can only speak locally. But they are raided for their safety when they cluster in the waterway washes. Extremely dangerous when it rains heavily in the high desert even if it is dry here. The water flows through suddenly at high volume and they have no warning.


They are raided for the local safety. A number of camps have been the cause of many wildfires which went each completely out of control.


They are raided when trespassing on land. If they picked up after themselves using local dumpsters or something and were smarter about fires in high wind people would be more likely to leave them alone.


It isn't as if the local area doesn't have supportive outlets though. There are community opportunities for housing and job listings. Some people just don't want the help or are too strung out to know anything. Or care.
