'Social cleansing': The Paris Olympics' war on homeless people | Edge of Sports
The Paris Olympics have provided an excuse to turn the host city into a security state overrun by police, military, barricades, and AI-powered surveillance technology. In brutal yet predictable fashion, authorities have reportedly been sweeping homeless encampments, rounding up unhoused people, and expelling them by bus to other parts of France ahead of the Olympics Opening Ceremony. Reporting from Paris, TRNN's Dave Zirin speaks with Paul Alauzy, a project manager at\xa0M\xe9decins du Monde (Doctors of the World) and an organizer of Le Revers de la M\xe9daille (The Other Side of the Medal) campaign.
