LAPD says officers are coming down with typhoid fever, as rats and homeless multiply
American Thinker ^ | 05/31/2019 | Monica Showalter

Cops are people who sometimes have to take on thankless dirty jobs, because someone has to take out the trash, but now that they're coming down with typhus-like illnesses, based on the multiplication of the homeless population and the accompanying rats, one wonders how fair this is — or, more to the point, if maybe leftists making policy wanted it this way.

According to ABC News:

At least one officer with the Los Angeles Police Department has contracted the bacteria that causes typhoid fever, Salmonella typhi, and another one is showing typhus-like symptoms, the police department announced on Thursday.

The officer who had contracted the illness is being treated, and the other officer has yet to be confirmed to be infected, according to the LAPD. Both officers work at the LAPD's Central Division, according to a statement released by the department.

California's blue-state Democrats can thank themselves for this one, based on all their laws to "protect" the homeless to be homeless, inadvertently creating conditions for a plague.  The Left doesn't like cops, of course, nor any enforcement of laws, so the idea of cops coming down with medieval illnesses rather fits into their scheme of things.  Typhus in fact means that some cops won't enforce the vagrancy laws at all.  Good times for the plague. 

The homeless are a varied population, and while some are people who've been marginalized by leftist housing policies, which drive rents sky-high, other are chronically homeless due to their own behavior and difficult to help.  The very condition of being homeless means eating food and leaving scraps and excrement on the streets, which are ideal ecological conditions for the drawing of rats.  That's happened, and now the rats are bringing diseases.

Don't the police support the sanctuary status of LA? If so, enjoy the suck.

Good...... a typhus,typhoid, dengue feaver, cholera epidemisc in LA will wipe out the surplus American enemy population that resides there.

Then, with the Biggun’ California might have the political will to abandon the utopian disease and revert to being America

No doubt they’re angling for a big fat federal grant that they can rip off.

I’m sure this can be blamed on Donald Trump, somehow.

American leftists govern just like leftists everywhere, including Africa and the Arab world.

Screw everything up while looting anything of value for yourself and members of your family or tribe.

Blame the ensuing misery on someone else, like the United States, or Conservatives, or White Men, or White People.

And it really works well. You can keep it up for decades, maybe centuries.

As long as you can keep the productive segment of society from going Howard Roark on you, you’ve got it made.

How many liberals called this a public health crisis?

It sounds like a crisis situation to me.

I ask because some idiot liberals and Missouri were saying it was a Public Health crisis that the abortion clinic might close down.

Just an interesting observation comparison. Global is considered a healthcare crisis if there isn’t an abortion clinic on every street corner, yet voices have been muted about the typhoid in LA, and the threats caused by feces in San Francisco.

but the police may press city officials for some kind of relief, go on strike, or just quit bothering.

If they really wanted to fix the Problem, the Police officers would begin relocating the Homeless to Hancock Park and Bel Air, tell them they can Camp Anywhere they choose and they won’t bother them.

This does beg questions, such as, why don’t we see homeless encampments in upscale neighborhoods?

There are 3 variants of Typhus. One caused be fleas, one by lice and one by chiggers.
Build the wall. It can’t come soon enough.

The author complains but gives no solutions.

He alludes to “liberal laws” but what is the alternative? Jailing them is the same as giving them food/shelter but several times more expensive due to security. These people already live in the streets with rats/feces and couldn’t care less about being in jail. Many even like jail because it’s safer than sleeping in many shelters.

And if they stay homeless after release, what then? Jail again? Execute them?

I’ve come to the conclusion liberals are some sort of self-destruct mechanism built into civilization. Maybe much like the story of the tower of Babel. Perhaps mankind is destined to forever go thru cycles of achievement followed by decay and destruction.
