hole in the wall

The police in this country have no grace for the kids on the street.  

This morning, some of the guys from the bridge were roughed up by the cops, taken to the police station, and then released a few hours later.  I'm really not sure what purpose it served...  The whole thing frustrates me because the police were harassing some of the better guys- ones who are trying to work and improve their lives.  

Based on the events of this morning and on all the rumors about police round-ups that they've heard, the kids decided to abandon the bridge for a few days.  And since kids living on the streets are often quite ingenious, I wasn't surprised when I stumbled upon a group of guys packed like sardines and hiding from the rain in an ATM booth under construction.
