So try to find a place to stay inside for now until the killers are found, THEN you can go back to the luxury of sleeping outside......🤔😡🙄 logic useless pigs

Urge the “homeless” not to sleep outside? Anyone else see a problem with this?🤦🏼‍♂️

Too bad Trump puts such a bad face on homelessness. He should be helping the problem not making it worse.

Hope they find the killer(s)

Omg!!!

Alabama police officers pose with 'homeless quilt' made from panhandling signsAlabama police department apologizes after 2 of its officers were seen in a Facebook post posing for a photo next to a 'homeless quilt' made from cardboard panhandling signs. To hell with apologizing. They have shown a capacity of inhumanity & cruelty to their most vulnerable & needy citizens. They have no business being in law enforcement if they thought this was a proud & funny moment to memorialize! THEY SHOULD BE FIRED ! Weak response. It was intentional. Fire them. Wonder if they should be asked a couple other questions.
