We want the horassment and bulling by Ventura pd to stop

    Hi we are the homeless of Ventura harbor river bottom all we want down here are to live peacefully and safely and not have to worry about the Ventura homeless task force coming every three weeks and bulldozing what little belongings we have or fear that we are going to go to jail .... They say they want to put a end to homelessness that they don't want us getting too comfortable but how are we supposed to get the things we need to take care of if we are constantly being uprooted and rerooted now the people say which is not the case at all there are many different types you know people out here that have come to me out here for many different reasons and some of which you know of us have a job that that we work from 9:00 to 5:00 and some of us out here are are sick or have just found out that we are that we are sick and who can't work and some of us I'm out here are mentally disabled and so there are a lot of you know reasons why we are still out here one of the main reasons why a lot of us out here in the Ventura River bottom in the harbor is because that we are getting they're getting the resources to late or not at all and that the other River bottoms have been received.... And told that we have to go to shelters not all of us out here required the requirements of a program or shelter some of us out here have already gone through that and are moving forward to the next step in that some of us you know do require that and do need that there are many you know there are many of us who are at different levels in both recovery or who don't you know need recovery because they are not addicts. And not all of us are single person single persons some of us are couples and some of us are couples with dogs and some of us are single persons with dogs and some are single people all of our situations are different out here and all of our situations require different resources in order to get us back on our feet again and back into society it's not that we can't or that we won't it's that it's that we are neglected most of the time and we are forgotten about and instead of helping helping us you know find the resources that we individually need not just the resources that are generalized to one specific you know group of people there are there are many situations in many circumstances that require the different resources that I know are out there that are being told to us are not out there we just asked that the resources that are being given out there are to be given to us and that we are not to be harassed or bullied by by law enforcement with bulldozing or camps or you know where we are dwelling in because it is it is not up to the requirements that they feel that they would like to have for that day or that that we have been there for too long according to for too long according to them. I'm just asking that the harassment stuff and that we have the opportunities and resources just like everyone else and and that we could all work together a situation because the way that things are going on out here not the way that you're going to solve this is creating and just moving the problem somewhere else
