A disgusting reality within Los Angeles’homeless encampmentswas brought to life in new video released by the LAPD.
A disturbing video posted by the Los Angeles Police Department shows a massive homeless encampment overrun by rats just steps from homes in an LA neighborhood.
Trash and debris spill into the street while tents, makeshift shelters, bikes and garbage block the sidewalks.
A second clip is even more gross, showing rats swarming through piles of trash as the disease-carrying rodents crawl in and out of shelters and debris.
“When people ask why we do enforcement at homeless encampments, this is why,” the post from LAPD read. “It is completely blocking the sidewalk making it impossible for our neighbors with disabilities to pass and it creates a health hazard,” they continued.
The LAPD eventually stepped in to make arrested.
“This operation ended with several felony and misdemeanor arrests as well as multiple citations,” LAPD said.
It comes asLA’s homeless crisis continues to blight the city, with The Post reporting recently about an encampment set up in the sewer system.
This is despite a$2.6 billion cash injection from Gov. Gavin Newsomto buy and renovate properties for people sleeping rough.
