>Police believe she may have been homeless. Police: "don't worry, she was an undesirable." Next, let's watch them publicly leak her criminal background.

  They already did, she was in prison for a year on charges relating to the 'dangerous' drug marijuana. I called almost verbatim what the chief of police actually said in the other thread and had my comment downvoted and flagged for it.

    If you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16620402 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16620402, it's unclear what it means and how you meant it. I'm sure many readers took it literally.

      I mean I did mean it literally as a factual legal statement, not as a normative statement on how society should work.

        Right—that was unclear, though, and if some readers took it as an endorsement I'm sure you can understand why they'd flag it.

  I wonder how much money Uber is pouring into Tempe and how much they promised the local government in taxes and infrastructure, to get them to bend at the knees so fast

  Yeah, the “may have been homeless“ line really pisses me off. Such a blatant bullcrap attempt to devalue a human life.
