The Phoenix Police Department released a video on March 8 showing two officers coming across a man who was sitting outside a bank with no shoes or socks.

Back about 20 years ago when I was doing advocacy work for the homeless, I was going into a store and saw a cop talking to a homeless woman wrapped in a blanket just outside the store entrance.
At the time, we were getting a few reports of cops in Modesto fucking with the homeless and even though I was in Ceres, I kept an eye on it without trying to be too obvious.
After a minute, the homeless woman got up and walked across the parking lot towards a fast food place while the cop got in his car and slowly followed her.
When I left the store, I wandered over that way and found the cop not only bought her a meal but he was sitting with her eating his lunch.
