I don't know what words you're reading - but no, I'm not saying that. Maybe someone else is but there's nothing in my post indicating that I think the police shouldn't make them leave.
What I said - and I've said it a few times, and I'll say it again:
Where are they supposed to GO, when they're made to leave? Leave for where, exactly? They're homeless. They have no specific destination awaiting their arrival.
Have you ever tried to force wasps out of a nest under your eaves? They come back and build on some other part of your eaves. Or they'll build under your next door neighbor's eaves. Or they'll build across the street from your house. There will be wasps in your neighborhood, until/unless you kill them all.
If I'm not mistaken, killing a person for the offense of being homeless is against the law. Killing all the homeless people just because they've chosen to squat in YOUR neighborhood - is also against the law.
So you need to ask yourself - where will these homeless people GO, if you make them leave wherever they are now? How will they get there? And when they get there, where will they go when the people THERE tell the homeless they have to leave THERE?
