Since it took public persuasion to get the police department to act then, the people will have to keep up the pressure to make sure they continue to make their presence known.
Local law enforcement has the specific duty to protect the rights of every individual involved in the situation, including the transient. They too have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
However, the transient does not have the authority to violate the rights of others or to impose their lifestyle and expenses of those who reject it.....Rob T.
