The Boston police department has been engaging in cruel and sociopathic behaviour for the last week, destroying the possessions of disabled city residents who have the misfortune to not currently have a place to live. The Orwellian-named "Operation Clean Sweep" began in the city's South End on August 2 and a police spokesman said the police have been out on at least three nights since then.
One of the destroyed wheelchairs belonged to a man named Jarrod who was hit by a hit-and-run driver last month and had been prescribed the wheelchair by a doctor. His backpack, which contained everything he owns, was also destroyed.
