The “alternative response” programs are being launched amid continuing debate over the role of police after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer

George Floyd was a criminal smack addict that overdosed on a fentanyl cocktail.

How exactly would a crisis counselor have saved his life?

I guess he would’ve just watched him die in the street instead of trying to detain him which would’ve been better for us as a whole. So that’s good news.

That, or Floyd would’ve kill him in a drug rage and then OD’d. He was a violent criminal on drugs afterall.
