- Body camera video shows police confronting a woman found living above a Family Fare grocery store in Midland, Michigan. She told police she'd been living in the sign for about a year. She'd fashioned a living space there, complete with a little desk, houseplant, computer printer, Keurig coffeemaker, and a cubbyhole full of food, according to police. (Video provided by Midland Police Department)

She works a job and can't afford a home. That's the real crime here.
So what's your solution?
That part!
@@PruneHub rent control and getting investors out of the market. But both sides make too much money from real estate to do anything about it.
Well, while that MAY because of pricing, something tells me, and I'm just spit balling here, haha, But something tells me she's not good with her money....
She has a job, been living there Rent free for at least a year ?? Huhhhhmmmm.. She should've purchased a cheap vehicle 2 live n for a while. Ijs.. good luck young lady on ur next venture n life.
So it takes 7 minutes to get a squatter out of a grocery store sign, but 13 months to get them out of someone else’s house???
Grocery stores pay alot of taxes homeowners not so much
Good point
Yup make it make sense. I get it, she’s living there illegally but I don’t see who or what she’s harming. If I were the store manager I probably wouldn’t have said anything about it and let her stay there.
It also could have something to do with zoning. People aren’t usually permitted to live in commercial properties
Nowadays, homeowners pay a lot of taxes.
Safer in a sign than in a shelter ...
some heavy rock chorus right there
The shelters treat us like criminals, it isn't much different than jail. Shelter security and corrections officers act the same.
Some of them are ex-correctional officers, that's why they act the same

she sounds like a smart person who is having difficulty paying for a roof over her head and found a safe place to live. She needs help.
And since she wasn’t able to afford a roof over her head, she decided to move on top of one.
98% of us need help
@@greenwave819 there's levels of "needing help", being HOMELESS in a country that homeless people die in the winter from is way more important than most of the others
She won't get it.
Maybe she should stop spending money on drugs and invest in renting a room
Who else is pissed they didn't show the inside of the sign?
Pissed? You need more happiness in your life lol.
@@bobabooey4537 What does that mean? Agree or disagree, some of us would have liked to have seen the inside.
If this is the right place (looks like it), she had a desk and computer, a small oven I think, a decent amount and she was in there over a year
how did such a tiny woman carry a desk up a roof. she was acting kinda sketchy not telling officers how she got the items up there. perhaps someone helped her
😂😂😂😂
Store owner should hire her. She’d never be late for work
Not funny Wanker. ☹️
You might be shocked, how many people live on their employers property, in an RV, in a back room, in a shed, in their car. Mostly it's temporary, but it does happen.
😂 true!
@@jessies6502 its not a bad idea especially if you're battling debt. If you suffer for a bit you can work like hell and pay it all off and start from scratch. I did it for a few months during the summer of 21. It sucked but having debt also sucks.
@@jessies6502 My dad was hired as a bartender because he lived in the apartment above the bar. There was a staircase inside the bar leading to the apartment. It was supposed to be temporary since the owner was just looking for a warm body after personnel issues but my dad was at the job for years.
That's actually a pretty clever setup. She lived rent free for a whole year while maintaining employment.
Edit: Just because I chose not express my feeling bad for this woman in my comment, doesn't mean I don't. I just chose to write about the things I found interesting instead.
Talking bout some bullshit CLASSISM!!!???
What did she save?
And it's a grocery store so you know she could steal food off the shelves or any food they threw away. This lady could've saved up 20k-30k but I'm sure it all went into hee veins.
She said that she need to talk to her boss. So she IS working
So you took this as she purposely did this so she could not pay rent huh??? She was trying to stay safe while she was homeless but you carry on with your bad self ✌️
Really sad when a working person can't afford a home,,,thats the real crime
It is horrible. This country is a disgrace.
This is a choice not out of necessity. I went from homeless to owning a home making 16.00 an hour. So this is BS. Who couldn't afford 1,000 a month?

I've been a roofer 36 years. I've found people living in these signs on roofs more than once.
As far as being homeless that's a pretty damn safe place to live
@poohead8022 that's the same thing I thought the first time I found someone living in a sign

@Northwest425 just climb on a commercial roof in a shopping center, most have something similar
@@poohead8022 for a woman definitely take the roof sign
It's just depressing. I admire the hell out of her creativity at finding shelter. Good luck, Roof Ninja!
Maybe she can take refuge in your roof. Hope you still admire her afterwards

I love it 😻
@@ChrisB-xw7un
Give me a break 😡 That woman wasn’t bothering anyone nor was she causing any problems!!! It was ingenious of her to figure out a safe place to stay and the store manager only wanted her out because they were worried about getting sued if something happened to her. She had been there for over year without incident so I seriously doubt that there ever would have been a problem!! She had a job and was working and would have moved out of there with no one the wiser!! 🤷🏼♀️
A working person needs to live like this. USA is a 3rd world country.
Import the 3rd world country citizens and export the jobs. A design by our own treasonous government that we pay to keep them rich and in power while they pretend to do their job of taking care of America and its citizens. Wonder how long it's going to take ppl here to figure out that they have us fighting each other instead of fighting them and finally come together and do something about it?!?! 🤨

Second world - Countries that aligned with the USSR and/or China during the Cold War. (i.e. Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba)

@@DarkenedX08
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
third world
noun
1: the aggregate of the underdeveloped nations of the world
@@Zarniwooper The term you're thinking of is "developing nation." The terms first, second, and third world have to do with which side a country picked during a Cold War.
People misuse the terms a lot because a lot of countries that were third world then happened to be developing nations as well.
A majority of us are a paycheck away from being homeless, count your blessings while you have them. Never take anything for granted, it could happen to anyone.
One thing my wise ole Gran used to say... "Always save a bit of money monthly, even if its only a few dollars. Everyone is only three paydays away from the destitution slide.".... Get a job, doesn't matter what & keep it if you can.. Priority one a roof, priority two utilities, three food.. Never mind the fancy stuff till you can afford it, at least you're alive and safe. She was th eldest of eight with a Mom who had passed. The children all survived WW2!!
Totally agree with that! I've realized that a lot of the kindness you get from people is dependent on whether or not you have money. They soon go cold and abandon you when it all goes wrong. Gotta be self-sufficient!
So true! I've lived off of peanut butter sandwiches for a month straight just to keep a roof over my head. Even stood in the grocery store and contemplated stealing something. Glad I never did though. People say "I have a good, stable job, it would never happen to me!" Job loss happens, accidents happen, natural disasters happen, illness happens, so yes, homelessness can happen to ANYONE! I hope this resourceful young lady is doing better!
Yeah and yet these cops and this manager felt the need to harass this woman for finding a safe creative place to lay your head
@@brendajones5081 That's why people MUST have savings in the bank and keep their credit cards in good shape, to handle emergencies.
That's probably the safest place she's had in a while. Homeless is sad and scary 😢

There's a lot of animalistic people out there but she's not one of them.🙏🙏
My thoughts too. I really think the cops were impressed as well.
so because she didn't spit at officers, she's a decent human lol...um......she's living somewhere where she's not allowed...All her belongings at risk......you sound foolish....there would no reason to do what you describe......you're overly exaggerating.....

@@seriousorganizer well im impressed that she was able to live there for a whole year rent free .
She's terrified. When you're living like that you NEVER want anyone near your property, and sleeping on the street with nothing but a tarp and knife in 20 degrees F can be absolutely lethal.
She;s a woman. WOmen never have trouble finding a place to stay
Umm, she’s living on someone else’s property. Can you see how stupid you sound?
It’s not her property
@@ChrisB-xw7un the stuff inside is her property
I lived in a “work loft” for years with no issues. But i definitely had times of anxiety. I really loved that place. …. Everything changed when some girl and her thief bf moved in. … he started stealing packages sent to other people in the building. Then bounty hunters came an arrested him. ….
This is when things went full on crazy…
Rather than be invisible like me she started making one of the two shower rooms like it was her homes bathroom. She hung some thing on the wall and out a bathroom matt down (gross) a tooth brush holder snd stuff. ….
And get this. This was her solution after me trying to wake her up saying “dude what are you doing? You walk down the hall with all your bathroom stuff blatantly in front of people including the ones that work for the building as if this is some college dorm or something …
So her solution to “dont carry the stuff letting people see you” was ok ill just keep it in the bathroom. Good idea.
Then later when theyre actively trying to kick her she tells them “ why are you aways hassling me? You dont give any of the other people crap that have been living here way longer. Giving specific examples such as me and “the oldman” “the electrician don the hall”!
By the way i know this because her brain saw no issue telling me late one night when she was stalking my door waiting to see me as she would the moment id come out. ….later on towards the end of her inside the building in an actual unit she began banging on my door to talk to me. And telling people we were friends or something.
She ruined it for everyone. The old man had just had a mild stroke recently too.
Later she tried living in the bathroom. Then she live outside in a suv as the place allwed rv in the back. Welp she ruined that for everyon too. Snitching on all the people living out back for years.
Finally when i left fr Christmas her and her new bf robbed my place….. i lost everything and became homeless Mynplace was really nice too. The biggest unit the place had. Nice high sealings 18ft? It was a cool spot. Id lived in three different units and kept moving to better ones over the years and finally got the nicest one. Also cost the most but it was worth it. …so she viewed me as rich im sure. Because i wasnt supposed to be living their the robbery created a situation i didnt know how to deal with. My place had been vandalized inside too? Like i dont get it people had smashed and thrown things everywhere …really sad. My art was all thrown everywhere the roof from the fridge and freezers all over. Like why? My shoes were missin mates. Sucked. All my camera equipment was stolen. Lenses. Tripods. My canon and nikon DSLR’s. I also had additional cameras for friends to use. It makes it really fun when you all have cameras. Suddenly people take more interest in seeing each others picture’s. I especially love night photography at like 3am. No one is around. ….
They stole my vintage camera collection too. I had this …….
This isnt good for me. I need to let this stuff go. Not sure. What to do. Nothing has ever been the same. Oh and then my storage unit got robbed? Management at the place did suck especially this one lady was a total pos. But that girl created the hellstorm.
Blah
Whats funny is the owner of the property lives in a different property he has on the water that is commercial zoning. Nonresidential just like my spot. And i guess he had converted warehouse into a really cool millionaire bachelor pad.
But you know that just fine. ..
And it truly should be.
In conclusion
I can relate to terrified.
Hiding acting like no one is inside and blah balhn
Wasted sommuch time writing this
I like the way the Officers treated this women. With respect and understanding. I pray things work out for her.
I wish they would treat everyone the same way
Instead of praying do something concrete. Volunteer to help the homeless. Will get you out of your churchy comfort zone.
This is horrible. We as a country are supporting other countries but let our citizens sleep like this
Amen! God bless you! Jesus saves sinners
Exactly
Other countries... like Dubai United Arab Emirates, are buying up all our housing and rental units as well as writing our country's legislation.
You make a very important point. If she was an illegal alien they would fly her to a nice area, put her up in a four star hotel, give her a cash card, make sure she is fed three squares a day, and assist her with especially assigned social workers.
People choose what to do with their money. Most homeless are on drugs
I hope those watching the video note that she is homeless, yet EMPLOYED.
Been there.
Yes, because even a job can't secure housing. With the way they're pricing just one bedroom apartments is insane
@@IchimatsuTrashnekoin the midwest?
Times are tough BUT you actually know nothing about her, her work ethic, her past. From family to acquaintances, I’ve known more than a few people that are generally unemployable…go from job to job. Too proud, undisciplined, combative, won’t take responsibility. Homelessness is easier to fall into than many realize but its causes are many times self-inflicted.
@@DuffyGabithe right to fail is unacceptable in this country. Your lack of compassion and understanding is a common thread from those not far from this life.
The "working homeless" is becoming a real 'thing'.
She's been there a year! Yet the cop and manager can't give her 24 more hours. Leave her alone.
I feel for her. A woman alone and homeless is an easy target for crimes such as rape, assault and death. She is trying to keep herself alive! I wish her well.
I feel like she was talking about something different than the usual dangers. She said her family had safe spots. I’m wondering what they were trying to keep away from them. It’s intriguing.
Im not expert but im pretty sure death isnt a crime.
Im with you, wish I lived close to her... help her out, She works, obviously not all strung out on drugs... just needs a safe place to live...

This woman had been offered shelter and food by one of the local organizations, but refused help. the ompany owning the building donated 10K to that organization. No use to this woman, but others in her situation will be helped
Why so many people act like they can never be homeless? I feel like its bad luck to talk poorly of a homeless person.
ive been homeless more than once its just an ugly fact of life, the first time was when i was 16 my mom kicked me out the house for telling the truth
I believe it's called "Karma". Many folks are 3 paychecks from the streets. Stay safe all.
I was homeless. I didn't squat. I also didn't make a makeshift home out of a sign on top of a business roof. Homeless is terrible. Breaking laws while homeless is even worse.
@@RabbitWatchShop thats great for you, not everyone is the same. she was smart for thinking to stay in that sign, it kept her away from the elements, desperation is real. have more perspective

I'm so sorry over the fact that this woman has to resort to living in such a place.
The fact big corporations can compete with new home owners one buying homes it outrageous. Now most people can’t afford to buy a home.

But how she gets up, is still a mystery to this day🤣😂🥲😂
rent is pretty cheap in the midwest, In Michigan rent averages $680 per month for a one-bedroom apartment
Muslims come here and are given an apartment stockedwith food and furniture given money and store cards .Watched on a documentary. A woman that worked for Catholic Charities that did not want her identity known was told to fast track young heathy men to SSI. There are people that have been waiting for years who are disabled to get on SSI. How many muslims have you seen that are homeless? They are many hard working people living out of their cars who go to work each day but cannot afford a home . If they come across the border and say they are muslim will be given many thousands that the govenrment said they need to get an apartment and furnish it and store cards loaded for them. Later , they are given money to start businesses. Also , they do not let them stay in apts . for long they are given homes. Muslims demand that they are not living in the same neighborhoods as the filthy infidels. They are a Trojan Horse.

This is sad. The traditional career path really is dead. I shifted away from traditional jobs and focused on my own research, resulting in $1.3M in investment returns in just 14 months. It took a lot of perseverance, but it was worth it
to be realistic, Luck plays a significant role more-so than the resources to thrive with investing. without it, it's very challenging to succeed, been there
Consistency goes beyond luck. I attribute this to research which was the challenging part before it led me to Emily Ava Milligan, a top fund manager, in turn she made 310k into this and counting
I pasted her name into my browser, and her website popped right up. It became clear she is in high demand. your example is rare. I wish i had it earlier to reference. thanks for the share

Maybe you couldn't tell but that woman WAS SAFE in the sign. But she was trespassing. That was the end of the gravy train of not paying rent for her! As a local resident I understand she simply was tired of living in college group rentals. Sick and tired of roommates, thus a home in the sky.

Squatters have more rights than this woman who has caused no problems whatsoever
Housing situation sucks, especially when we have con artists like trump that inflate the value of their properties which then makes other properties value go up and out of the middle classes price range...rich get richer but his days are numbered.
Terrorist crossing the border do too... Even get a 4**** hotel and $16000 per person spent on them per year for food alone!
That's all a matter of perspective. She hasn't caused any problems yet. There are many insurance reasons why she can't be up there. I'm sure there are fire hazards with her running electricity, she probably has hot plates to heat up food. If she causes a fire the insurance company will tell the store they're not covering it because they're not supposed to have people living on the roof.
Its not residential property though, squatters rights apply to places that can be lived in in the first place.
Let her stay on your roof.
What I really wanted was for her to give them a tour of her place. Show them the setup, like those apartment tours
The cop has the typical cold and cruel heart that hides behind most of the friendly facades of the people of Michigan.
Shut up and offer all the homeless a place to live in your home
@@ChrisB-xw7un You sure are full of hatred. Are you from Michigan?
This woman was was not living in anyone’s home.
If I found some poor person like this who was not a drug addict living on my land in an area that I was not using, I sure would not have her arrested. I would not have her torn away without all her belongings. I would be more likely to see if I could help her get gainful employment. If I owned that store, I would probably offer her a job and take advantage of having a security watch at my business. I’ve known many homeless people who eventually got back on their feet and started making good money.
Do you often kick dogs, or drown cats? Do you pull the wings off of flies? Do you secretly want to murder strangers? Perhaps you should apply for a job as a police officer in Michigan.
Ya have to hand it to her , it’s creative to be living in a sign on a roof, I hope she can find permanent safe housing, my heart goes out to her, no one should be homeless.😔❤️🙏

@@BartholomewJenkins69420 yeah instead of buying food and a coffee machine she could instead use that money on a down payment for a house. 🤡
@@BartholomewJenkins69420puma? is it from a thrift store? or from a church donation closet?
This is what a working person gets reduced to? What a disgrace that someone can't help her find a place to live.
The problem is that a person has to be wealthy to afford any place to live in this country. Average rent here in Denver is $2,100 per month. It's disgusting.

@@bobloblaw2958 Agreed. It's horrible.
@@bobloblaw2958 yea well bringing in millions of outsiders per year who need housing and food isn't helping.
This is absolutely horrifying. A human being living on a roof in a sign?!?
Better than under a bridge, or a tent in the street, where thousands live
You live a good life if this is horrifying to you. Try Cuba. Not the tourist side. The horrifying side with starvation & beatings, disappearance by police.
She has a job, doesn't sound like she's on drugs, this is tragic that things like this can happen.
This lady needs a good resource to help her out for being in the situation. She spoke respectfully and kept things clean for being there for a year.
That speaks volumes about those in similar situations.
Hope life gives her the break she needs and to build from
They choose to live like this.

I'm not mad at her. She had a safe place to live. Her only problem was getting caught.
She was living on someone else property but you don't have a problem with that. Must be that protect the palm colored people project 😂. Genesis 15:13-14 in play Now 😂.

I know the cop was doing his job, but it looks like he feels zero compassion for her.
These comments are so confusing. Cop handled it great, this woman acts irritated the entire time she's been asked to (shockingly) stop living on someone else's property. How on earth are people finding her to be somehow endearing?
@@rosseypik114that cruelty nakes you sound like you are religious or like you believe in god. They all seem to have a fetish for being cruel.
She’s had a year to save up. Is she too good for a homeless shelter? Quit coddling everyone and grow a backbone
@@ChrisB-xw7un I don't know her reality and how much money she makes. All I know is that she's been living in that sign, and it looked like the cop couldn't care less about her situation. I can't say he is wrong, though. You may be right.
So creative. I’m sorry she got busted.
You hear the “I got to call my boss”. This country is fkd, homeless is now the norm not just the bums.
They've given the land to immigrants.
You are terrible at math. Homelessness is not the norm.
Huh, that's odd, I don't know anyone who's homeless. Are you sure it's the norm?
@@spazemfathemcazemmeleggymi272well I guess you're blind cause there are more people homeless than ever before in history in this country do some research before you post people are one paycheck away from being homeless...Rent has gone up 2x3 times food gas at all time high..What you take for granted like a hot shower.. clean sheets... lights..cable TV is a luxury for others..you might not know anyone who is homeless but I'm sure you see them.. maybe you should go out and look maybe help and talk to them.
@@DuffyGabiyou too get a clue.Your terrible at seeing what's going on in this country..
The fact she is working but having to live in a store sign, on a roof, speaks volumes about our superpower countries. At least she was safe up there and the police handled it well. I wish only the best for her and hope she is on her feet with a home soon.
Me too ❗️👍😢
Amen 🙏🏽
The richest country in the world has people with full-time jobs having to live in their cars.
Bidenomics
Housing prices are absurd and just another reason I'll never get married and contribute to society
The police and manager were respectful to her when they could've just thrown her out with no recourse to even get what she could carry down.
My University Professor once told me that Homelessness is a complex problem that will require complex solutions.
Not every situation is the same.
Thank you Dr. K
Duh. 🤔
Building affordable housing for decent people isn't complex IMO. We have the same problem in the UK, in addition landlords charging whatever they want for private rentals, that also needs to stop. People that are homeless and on drugs is something else (a lot can be helped, maybe not all), people that choose to be homeless is something else - let them go ahead. 'Complex solutions' in my mind is saying not with my tax dollars!
Hope this woman has found a place to stay in safety.
I don't. She's a wackadoo
No. Its America. No support for homeless or veterans
@@raystewart3648 Veterans get plenty of support. The vast majority are not being truthful that they are a veteran. No support for homeless is the best solution. This is how Japan handles it and they barely have any issues with homeless people. People are embarrassed to be homeless and they get no free stuff over there, it forces them to get a job and not be a bum. In America they get free food, free healthcare, free shelters, and everyone hands them cash. No incentive to not be homeless.
Me too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@okstate999 LOL, in Japan most of the elderly poor people live in litteral cages, 3 by 3 foot cages wich they pay rent for, if their lucky enough to be able to pay for those.....
It's very sad that a young working person has to live like this in the US while billions are being sent to wage war. This country really needs to get its priorities straight. US citizens living in dignity should be the priority.
Please do not be ignorant. We don’t send billions as in actual dollars. We send old out of date weapons which have become obsolete for USA. To keep the American Industrial complex moving they have to produce new weapons constantly. The old ones get sent in ‘aid’ or trashed.
It's not that simple, really it isn't. In fact if more citizens would help their neighbors the problem would be reduced drastically. Instead of blaming the government, ask yourself and others what they are doing to help their fellow citizens. Think about it.
@@MaryC-ug4pf In my small town there was a kind of demented old fellow who hung out every day in the park with his shopping cart. He never bothered anyone or approached anyone, but was friendly enough if he was approached. His elder sister threw him out, had enough of her own problems. Folks would bring him food or stuff he could store in his shopping cart. He used the men's room at the adjacent government complex and slept on the floor of the open part of the post office for many years; no one minded. Finally, he got so old commissioners saw to it that he was taken care of along with his aging sister.
She does sound young!
Why are some always saying the same distraction stories that have literally nothing to do with the actual problem? We need housing supply housing options affordable housing real housing market. We need to real zoning reform, need to put a stop to all the "market" rigging price-fixing and racketeering
That’s horrible. Leave the poor girls alone. 😢
All around there is clean, she didn't leave rubbish etc, I would love to have seen inside the "unit" ....... I bet you it was orderly and clean.
I agree. She was very respectful, responsive and even though she was in a jam she handled it as well as anyone could expect. I hope she’s in a better place now.
Now I’m going to be looking at the grocery store signs thinking is there someone living in there
😂😂
Me too
I'm ready to move in 😁👌🏻
Boogie, Boogie, BOOGIE MAN INSIDE THE INSANE FOR THE MEMBRANE !!!!
There is!
Sad truth, many Americans are living in tents right now working multiple jobs.
Give me a break. The vast majority living in tents don’t even have part time jobs.
@@ChrisB-xw7unsad truth is youre a dumbass….
@@ChrisB-xw7un Not always. Panhandling can be full time. With occasional "toot-breaks".
But illegals have “a right to shelter” and gets tons of money stuffed in their pockets, courtesy of the taxpayers.
yes, and the judicial system treats them like rabid animals!
WTF
The sign house is on AirBnB now for $220 a night
The cops pump her for info on how she manages her living situation, but don't say anything about connecting her with a social worker, or town services. I understand that they can't let her stay there, but they could have been more reassuring that she can get some help. Poor woman is under some serious stress in that moment.
There is no help. It's Midland, MI. They hate the poor there. Those services don't exist.
Cops are not about protecting and serving PEOPLE.... They protect CAPITAL....
The cops were doing their job, which was to get her off the roof. After they all got down, they may have connected her with resources to help her on her way, but we don't know that the officers did or didn't do such a thing.
Honestly to me the officers appeared to be impressed, it isn't everyday they run into a homeless person, who works and can climb walls .
Cops hate women who won't give them 'freebies'.
They did, there's an article saying they got her help resources
Woman living inside that sign is CREATIVE. Maybe someone should hire her.
why would any employer hire her if she has no qualms stealing and trespassing from them? she hasn't gotten it together after a year of not paying, and she still cannot find a residence legally?
She has a job, nummy. Rewatch the video.

@@microplegia28 your comment is evident of illness.
Instead of the officers questioning how she survived in there for a year. They should have helped her find a shelter or something! Hopefully she finds somewhere safe to live 🙏🏽
What harm is she doing, she's just using her brains to survive, not bothering anyone, not making a mess or damaging anything. Leave her alone!
Open your home to the homeless
@@ChrisB-xw7un Have you? I don't live in the US but I'd happily offer such an ingenious person a place to live.
@@ChrisB-xw7un In the USA people dont help their neigbors its all to get themselves ahead. But when it comes to issues they hurdle and blame the government but dont even know their neighbors name. I would offer a place to sleep.
It’s refreshing to see a police officer who can speak calmly and clearly and still be in control of the situation without over reacting and making things worse. Well done.
The girls was clearly mad but at least she was cooperating too
I will agree with this
@@cameroniveson5648 I agree, this is my city, it's a good conservative city and a good police force, a couple nasty ones, the ones that use to chase me around, took my driver's license a couple times.
We have free housing and free help for her if she chooses.
The police officers did an excellent job. Firm and clear and honest regarding the situation, also with reason and empathy.
i agree!!
Thanks to this cop for showing some compassion and treating this woman with some dignity. She is a perfect illustration of what is broken in our society. She has a job but is forced to live in a sign.
Absolutely. She should write a book about it and cash in.
She won't be able to sell it .
@@joelc9439I would buy it mo ron
Right, they showed _her_ compassion but if she were an employed "black" person who was also homeless and living in this sign, they would've approached with guns drawn, swearing and screaming, they would have brutally dragged her out and escalated the situation to justify shooting her 50+ times. But, yes of course, let's be in awe of how wonderful these officers were towards _this_ citizen.
@@PeculiarPeople.Nah...not a thing. Nice try though! 😅
It's sad that she has to live like this..😢
So sad…. I wish they would’ve just left her alone. She really is safer up there than in the streets.
The liability issue is just an excuse - the insurance would cover it if the owner just ignored the whole issue.
I would have let her stay. She wasn't bothering anyone. Some nosy ass probably ratted her out instead of just worrying about themself
Offer your home and make a difference
Such a dangerous criminal, I'm so glad the police were there to intervene /s
@@ChrisB-xw7untelling people to offer their home is crazy. Now if I had a big sign in my front yard she would be welcomed to it. It’s insane people work their butts off and can’t afford to live.
Housing is expensive. I am sympathetic to this woman. I hope she has proper housing now.
I doubt it, she lives in America 😂😂😂 and Michigan , we just transfer our homeless from city to city mostly
Yep - another roof 😂😂😂
Not likely.
She's from the wrong side of the southern border, no housing assistance for her.
Maybe she should stop using drugs.
I thought you said comfort not confront! This human being needs help please help her!
It’s only illegal because the government aren’t able to get any taxes outta her.
She seems like a Good person, I hope she finds a home 😢
Lower the rent so we can afford life
Unfortunately, the situation you mention is how "they" want it for all of us.
Work harder
It’s the debasement of the currency by the central bank system
@@specialchatter5374 Vote better.
Harder or for longer hours? Working harder at a wage job doesn’t result in much more money. Having a connection with someone in a high place does.
Shame on that grocery store owner.
No future in living on a roof, no matter what. The roof was not prepared for anyone staying there. Owner of the building would possible face a big law suit if someone from the public got up there and got hurt. There are lawyers in line waiting for such incidents
Safety is everything and she was very clever about that.
God bless and help this lady.
Cops were awesome and patient with her.
Wonderful interaction ❤
Ive been homeless with 2 jobs saved money to find townhouse for mother brother and myself ❤🙏 prayers to this lady hope she finds safe place to live
Me Too ❗️👍
I thought good ole Joey was helping everyone????
Me too
And how many jobs d you work to pay the monthly rent? And how hard was it to find a place that didn't require you to make 3× the rental price????
Yep. Been there. 🫂
I love that the officers are as innocently impressed with the resourcefulness of the hiding spot as I am currently.
So so sad!!!!!! I pray she finds a home.
Everyone has a right to shelter
Would you have ever thought that people would NEED to do this in the greatest country on earth? This country is in great distress
Full time job live homeless so the CEOs can get rich. Not worth having a job
Well you are assuming she NEEDS to.
@@daakrolbI doubt she is enjoying being homeless. She has a job she probably cant afford rent because the rents are ridiculously high many people are living paycheck to paycheck. Yet this administration gives thousands to illegal immigrants.
It's Bidenomics.
@@november151956 Yes
I’m glad they blurred her face, respectful. The entire thing is heartbreaking
There is literally a video clip a few seconds long from some news station in the 'recommended' section where they don't blur out her face (although it's only the eyes you can see) and they make the whole situation sound/look worse than this whole video shows. I feel bad for this lady, hopefully her luck improves soon! And I just can't stand the MSM for the way they always make things appear different to what they really are!
So weirdly respectful, kind, and compassionate.
Not even an arrest for trespassing.
The west cannot house people yet it funds wars.
They shouldn't have. NOBODY has an expectation to privacy in public.
So sad
Shame on humanity that this is needed.
It's very unreasonable not to let her take all her valuables.
