GANGSTERS IN BLUE: ASSAULT
ON AMERICA’S
HOMELESS – PART 2
Written by Thomas Cain
The State of Utah
passed draconian laws that prohibit the homeless from any form of
panhandling. Panhandlers are either
given a citation to appear in court or are arrested and thrown into jail.
In March of this year the 10th circuit court of
appeals ruled that Salt Lake City,
Utah anti-panhandling laws are unconstitutional. All across Utah the homeless are filing lawsuits
proclaiming their Constitutional rights are being violated by law enforcement agencies. Fortunately for the homeless they are seeing
a myriad of victories. However, the
biggest perpetrator targeting the homeless is Provo City’s
police department (Gangsters In Blue).
Even though the Chief of Police Rick Gregory, has
been advised by the Justice Department, that Utah’s anti-panhandling laws are unconstitutional,
he has ordered his officers to harass, terrorize, and intimidate the homeless
with threats of false arrested, false criminal charges, and other forms of
mental and physical police abuse.
What is most unsettling, Chief of Police Rick Gregory’s
mandate to harass the homeless comes directly from the high archery of the
Mormon Church leaders. While the Mormon
Church’s public edifice is one of sympathy and kindness for Utah’s
impoverished souls, behind the scenes there is volatile mean-spirited revulsion
for the Utah’s
weakest down-an-outers. All Utah law enforcement
agencies are under the complete dictate of Thomas S. Munson, President of the
Mormon Church.
Rescue My Chosen People is a Jewish organization looking out
for the needs of impoverished Jews worldwide.
However, after much consideration, we decided to take an unprecedented
step to join forces with legal firms that protect the rights of Utah’s most impoverished
souls, Jews and non-Jews alike. This
will be discussed in more detail in Part 3 of this series.
America’s
homeless are in much need of protection from police abuse. Americans have a moral and legal duty to defend
her weakest citizens from police atrocities. In Part 3 you will be given an
opportunity to voice your concerns of homeless police abuse in Provo, Utah
and elsewhere. It is our responsibility
to stop this unwarranted police assault on America’s most defenseless citizens.
