The police always seem to be at my soup kitchen...

So I've noticed that in the last week or so every time I've looked out the window at the soup kitchen across my street 100% of the time there are police there. Every so often to do hear audible fighting coming from there but now they seem to be making daily stops there and staying for quite sometime. I had thought about volunteering there before but I'm having second thoughts now being that the police are always there. Are hobo's just naturally violent or is it just around dinnertime?

Grudges about food is a scary thing...

Yeah I didn't think people would get so heated down there. I mean it's free food right?

"Hey, that was MY soup boiled of shoes, give it back!"
"Take it cool man, there are enough for everyone."
"Yea, but that was MINE! NO ONE TAKES MY PLATE WHEN IM HUNGRY. AND I'M A HOBO, SO I'M ALWAYS HUNGRY! AARRGGHHH!!" *fighting begins, cops come, arrests hobos, eat food themselves*

or w/e, never been to a soup kitchen...

The craziness of the public is something no one can really fathom I guess. Someone will always find some reason no matter how stupid it is to cause trouble.

This can happen anywhere of course but everyday at the same place? Interesting...

Oh yes. Boiled Shoe Soup is exquisite!

I have noticed that police activity has been on the rise since the last month or so. Just today, driving to and from college I saw two-three police cars, more than I usually see in a given week. They're out to get their paychecks and bonuses for sure.

Thats true, Ive been seeing a LOT more police around lately.

Ive seen more cars pulled over/police cars at homes/patrol cars on the street in the last 2 months than I have the entire year.

Seriously. They must have a new standard now or something.

I wish there were more police here in NZ. I haven't seen one in 3 months now.

It's getting colder. Might mean more homeless at the kitchen, more frustration or hunger... who knows.

As for there being more cops around, I have noticed this as well- but meh. I don't have a reason to fear them, so it does not bother me.
But over all I think it's just change in the weather, so we're seeing change in other things as well.

Life for everone sucks right now. I imagine if you're homeless, your life really sucks.

Anybody touches my shoe soup is gonna find themselves on the floor after I curb stomp them.

Seriously though, where I live hardly any cops ever patrol.

I've lost a lot of respect for the police, I saw recently on CNN how we need to send a message to kids in urban schools that authorities can be trusted and that they can go to them and be unafraid to 'snitch'

But it's just untrue, they have no regard for your safety at all, as Fpod says "They're not here to protect you, they're here to simply enforce the law"

And also to grab bonuses like g-money said.

It is a tough job being a Cop. I have several cop friends and they all tell me that while most people respect you and complement you for your hard work, those people are never the ones you have to deal with. It is always the ones that already hate you that you either have to interview for a crime or make an arrest on.
Society definetly needs to teach kids to be unafraid to "snitch" (I'd beat the shit out of someone who wouldn't give information on who stole from or killed my girlfriend cause they don't want to "snitch"). Hopefully the majority of decent cops don't have their lives placed in more jepordy because of bad cops giving them a bad image.

haha

"Touch my soup will you!"
