This seems implausible for a number of reasons. For one, it's pretty unprecedented, I don't think there's any modern examples of law enforcement clearing a homeless encampment by burning in recent history in the United States.

Then, there's the safety issues. Burning a camp like that would cause a lot of toxic fumes and potential groundwater contamination. And then there's the risk of the fire spreading, especially this time of year. It's unlikely Greene County would do this without a fire department overseeing it.

Gasoline as an accelerant? Again, huge safety issue, and there are much better ones. You could suppose they used something else and the "witness" was mistaken, but gas is easily identified by it's odor.

GCSO knows there would be a huge backlash, scandal, and lawsuits if this got out, so why do it? Why not just use more conventional methods and avoid all that? I'm not saying they always use good judgement, but this would be something you'd expect to hear about from Maricopa county.

I'm not saying it's impossible this happened, but it's highly improbable and I'm very, very skeptical. One burned campsite as shown in the video is proof that one campsite burned for unknown reasons. It would require a lot more proof to make the claim that GCSO is burning homeless encampments believable.

What I find a lot more credible is that due to the recent changes in the law, rumors are going around in the homeless community, and this pastor was taken in by them.
