Sounds like Fioravanti complied with the cover up, then shut up and moved on to save his career, so yeah ACAB.

We really need to stop thinking things can 'go back to normal'. The old norm is how we got to the point were we have several impending climate, health, and societal crises with no effective organization or government to deal with them. Priorities and procedures need to radically shift in order to put environmental and societal sustainability before financial prosperity. If we don't change, then something's going to breakdown and if it's the environment or vital societal cooperation, then it's absolutely going to take the economy down with it.

It's keeps them from organizing. If you let a camp sit long enough, it may become somewhat stable. The people living in it might get resources that they would otherwise have access to. It might even been seen as a partially good thing by some of the locals with housing. This is potentially beneficial for everyone except the cops, who will have a harder time moving them when someone influential enough wants them moved. So you have the massively wasteful, dehumanizing, and likely unconstitutional system that exists now, because it makes cops' jobs easier in theory.

So we're not even going to consider that he may a highly developed super-fan of Lock-picking Lawyer with a plot to frame his parents just before Halloween so he can keep all the candy they bought for other kids and go trick-or-treating...?
