Last Sunday, police shot and killed a homeless man in the city's Skid Row. There have been ongoing questions about the identity of the man and what exactly transpired on the scene. But the incident has put a spotlight on how the police and the public interact with the homeless population in Los Angeles.
A recent study from the Policy Advocacy Clinic at the UC Berkeley School of Law analyzed vagrancy laws and found that California cities have more anti-homeless laws on the books than other parts of the country. It also found that L.A. and San Francisco have more of these laws than other California cities.
Lindsay Walter, a second year law student and a co-author of the report, joined Take Two to discuss the findings of the report.
