yea for the acting police chief! from the article

And even Columbia's acting police chief is balking by inexplicably and admirably noting that “homelessness is not a crime."

“I think there are some misconceptions out there that police are going to go out there and scoop up the homeless...I’ve got to have the legal right (to question or arrest anyone.) We can’t just take people to somewhere they don’t want to go. I can’t do that. I won’t do that."
