I #amreading Evicted - #Poverty and Profit in the #American #City by Matthew Desmond One #landlord wrote: “First, we are evicting Sheila M, the caller for help from police. She has been beaten by her ‘man’ who kicks in doors and goes to jail for 1 or 2 days. (Catch and release does not work.) We suggested she obtain a gun and kill him in self defense, but evidently she hasn’t. Therefore, we are evicting her.” The #MilwaukeePD responded: “This notice serves to inform you that your written course of action is accepted.”
