Not an American either, but cops do the same in France.

Most of the homeless people who live in tents are immigrants. The government is full of authoritarian racists, and the cops are violent racist bastards who have order to move these people out of the sight of the good citizens. There are videos of cops tearing down tents with cutters and spraying repellent on belongings and mattresses.

Why is there so little reaction? Because most people think it's a good idea to protect the real estate market where they live. And even when people mobilize (yellow jackets, retirements, Palestine..), they get nothing but police violence.
