The experience of homelessness discrimination

When living on the street, I had some rough and good experiences. The thing I focus on more is the discrimination and mistreatment of homeless individuals. I had to put up a verbal fight with a worker at a cafe because I could not use the restroom there. People also put me out of stories and accused me of stealing because I had multiple bags with me. My concern also was watching police threaten and jail people for sleeping on the street and asking for food and money. The law tries to keep homeless people in distress. I am never weakened by this but gain strength.
