Boston, August 8 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Massachusetts, the Boston Police Department is under fire for destroying the wheelchairs of homeless residents as part of “Operation Clean Sweep,” a campaign targeting Boston’s poorest citizens. 

Images posted on social media show police officers ordering homeless people away from Boston Medical Center before loading three wheelchairs into the back of a garbage truck and crushing them. 

A local activist, Cassie Hurd, tweeted: “It was heartbreaking to speak with Jarrod, who lost not only his wheelchair, but everything he owns that he keeps in his backpack.  He was hit by a car last Tuesday.  City of Boston, Mayor Marty Walsh —  this is inhumane & cruel.”
