hollywood promotes the myth that all homeless guys are really brilliant cellists who turned to drink after a broken heart. or they are down on their luck vets. or they are women thrown out of apartments by heartless mortgage companies.
bullcrap. the 1% who might actually be like that either get jobs and get off the streets in a few months, or they are killed by the other permanent homeless.

Sorry, that's just wrong. You may be correct for a single small group but studies show that as many as 40% of homeless are veterans. This is from a report in 2006 from the national alliance to end homelessness.
I'm not a big advocate or cop hater. I just don't find it at all amusing when an overzealous cop loses control and beats some guy over a word no matter how offensive that is.
