Police Officers – Get to Know them
I believe that rampant homelessness across our county is San Diego’s dirtiest little secret. One of the officers shared the story of how for five hours one day, he shepherded one heroin-addicted homeless guy with abscesses all over his legs and arms to the hospital where a doctor treated the wounds. Doctors there warned the heroin addict that he would probably lose his legs because of these wounds. The officer then took the homeless man to jail where he’ll remain for a few weeks. He’ll go through the heebie-jeebies as he detoxifies. And then, predictably, he will go back to the streets, buy heroin and continue his downward spiral into slow suicide. And he’ll end up losing his legs.
