[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cop saw the homeless man...and recognized him (so he knew if he is mentally ill or a sex offender). [/quote]

Because all homeless people are mental or predators in a helicopter's world. [/quote]

Not at all. Most homeless people are actually housed (in shelters or transitional housing or through other special programs). But the chronically homeless (google it, it's a term of art) who typically live on the street tend to be sex offenders (who aren't eligible for many programs), and/or mentally ill (and prefer to live away from others and as such don't enter the shelter system), and/or are addicts (who can't stay sober and thus can't follow shelter rules).

Yes, the cops in SS know all the homeless people in the area. They are essentially the frontline outreach team for them. They know who is dangerous and who is harmless. And apparently these kids are apt to approach strange men (like the 911 caller), so who knows if they would have approached the homeless guy? Possible...especially if he had a dog (and some of them do). [/quote]
