The Sheriff's office failed this poor man. If anyone else had a person assault them with a machete - with witnesses and evidence - that would have been arrested immediately. This brazen assault was so disheartening that a homeless man ACTUALLY CALLED THE LAW (which almost never happens) and they give the perp a mere warning. Homeless people are still people. They deserved more due-diligence from the law.

@ckoritko Dawg I'm literally a provider aid at a homeless shelter and overcame homelessness personally. The issue is that yeah sure homeless people fight and argue and all that all the time ... and you see the homeless persons in the video actually account for that. And the guy who assaulted them and gave a warning to HAS A HOME and THEY WENT TO THE ADDRESS to give him a finger-wag for actively assaulting others with a machete. He wasn't merely brandishing it or wearing it or pointing it he actually took the thing and carved through a tent blindly while looking for a specific person. It was SO concerning that other homeless actually bothered to call the gd Sheriff's Office. You know how wild stuff has to be for a homeless person to involve the law and bring them into their relatively-well-hidden and organized (best I've seen ngl) encampment?

@moonman2022 Unless someone else is armed and in waiting... But that's all aside the point. He definitely frisked the guys before he followed them and made sure to radio in his position along with directions for backup to find him.

@syrup8783 They absolutely can arrest someone for assault with a deadly weapon. They wagged a finger at him and he came back later in the day to actually murder the person. If someone came to your house and swung a machete around looking for you the cops would have them tazed and confused

@virginiabalch6274 Yeah but that was not this situation. And I was homeless and now work with the homeless. If it's wild enough for a homeless person to alert the law to their own encampment, it's not your standard Feud over pisspots and sleeping spots.

@syrup8783 Dawg you don't get a choice if someone is arrested for a violent assault in public. In fact they definitely did want to have something done because the Deputies actually went to the house, investigated, and made contact. At the very least they could have charged him with Disorderly Conduct

@ckoritko A group of them end their testimony is as reputable as any other. There is no reason to discount it until evidence shows otherwise. He cut through and destroyed a tent with a machete and the other guys all called the cops.

@saagar2002 The perpetrator came into the camp earlier that day with a machete cutting through tents and looking for the victim. It was enough of a fight for other people at the camp to alert the police. When they followed up the first time they just gave him a warning. What you are seeing now is him coming back that same night and slaying the man he was looking for earlier.

@williamoneal2858 The 6 years I served was great training for the homelessness when it was all over.

@abcd-nd1if Chill out wannabe Shapiro.

 @wolfgangbuchner5113 Not for internal disputes that can be handled in-house. Especially at a well-established encampment that could easily send them packing

@LFNikita I would but I'm certain the officer gave them a pat-down prior (not in the clip) and he called in for backup (in the clip) with his position, heading, and direction. With multiple other witnesses. He was hyper-alert and amped though: being able to detect the direction of far-off movement in the woods at night is a matter of pure adrenaline and instinct. Why these mfers never climb a tree and shut up will be the bane of my cop cam viewing. Nobody ever looks straight up. Just climb a damn tree and keep quiet ffs.
