* ** ** *BREAKING!!! St Petersburg Police Officers Attack Tents With BoxCutters While Homeless Residents Inside!
* ** At approximately 4pm today a group of 25 St Petersburg police officers accompanied by SWAT units, and with the blessing of Mayor Baker, attacked one of the two smaller tent cities that popped up after Mayor Baker and the City of St Petersburg forced the closing of the Project Coming Up Tent City last Friday on land provided by St.Vincent DePaul.
The officers slashed the tents up with boxcutters while the residents were inside, which also comes on the heals of the beating deaths of two homeless men, one of which was a former tent city resident and had a full time job.
Earlier in the day Rev Bruce Wright of The Refuge in St Petersburg, a homeless advocate, met with St Petersburg police officials to discuss the two tent cities situated on pulic land, and agreed to the police concessions, which obviously was not enough for the city.
*Now we must ask ourselves....who REALLY killed those two men??*

ST. PETERSBURG - The city of St. Petersburg's battle against its homeless residents escalated today when police slashed their tents to the ground and threw them away.
Homeless bystanders stood by and watched in shock, many with tears streaming down their faces.
"This is sickening," said Viola resident, whose tent was cut up and thrown out.
The plan was put together by the mayor's office, and the city police and fire departments.
Fire department personnel and police showed up around 4 p.m. near the intersection of 15th Street and 15th Avenue North.
Earlier this week, homeless residents were told they were okay to set up their tents at that location.
But city officials said the tents were a code violation and a fire hazard.
Fire/rescue personnel closed off the street, then about 25 officer went to work with boxcutters.
They cut the tents to ribbons, and then threw some away, but left some on the ground.
They didn't move any of the belongings inside the tent.
The homeless nearby watched in shock.
One man was bent over, in tears.
"What are we, dogs?" said Wilson.
