Police and maybe fire dept. employees destroy tents belonging to homeless people. They cut the tops off the tents with box cutters. The homeless and their advocates claim the police are acting under direct orders from the Mayor.
I guess destroying someones personal property, when you are a cop, isn’t illegal in Amerika…

UPDATE
This happened in Grand Junction, Colorado, though the cops in question were fired for thier actions...
The police were searching for a man they wanted to question about the theft of some copper wiring. They were dispatched to "The Point," a bushy sliver of land between the Gunnison and Colorado Rivers. The three men say they shouted and got no answer, so they entered the camp with guns drawn. Then they took turns covering each other while they looked in the tents. They also "disabled" two bikes by slashing the tires so the "suspect did not flee."
In their own defense, the officers say they've cleared homeless camps the same way in the past with the support of the department, something the chief denies. It appears that in the past, residents were given notice that the camp would be dismantled.
In the letter of termination for the officers, Chief Camper writes, "Frankly, I'm at a loss ... as to how the three of you could even try to justify entry into a tent using the zippered door, let alone cutting a window through the side or the top without the benefit of a search warrant, arrest warrant or the owner's consent, which would have allowed you to do it legally."
In other words: use common sense and respect the homes of others, even if they're made of nylon.
