Seems like it wouldn't be THAT hard to have a well paid ACTUAL group of police specialists capable of both standard police engagement and mental health intervention/de-escalation.
Seems WAY safer than sending out some poor social worker to a potentially dangerous situation in a location without suitable backup.

The guy is a Rothschild prop and a tool to incite division. He is an abstraction.

What about the scenario where the crazy person doesn't brandish a weapon until after the social worker arrives? Just a dead social worker then. No big deal. Your softness leads to death.
You, and the majority of others here, have no idea how mobile crisis teams work or they or how they deal with those situations.
In Baton Rouge and New Orleans, they get several calls and respond to them every day.

Yes. Because it's worked so well every time it's been proposed before. This was a big push during the allowed BLM riots. Remember? Replacing responders with social workers?
That’s not what he’s advocating for. Nor is it what I’m advocating for.

yes.
I’m an advocate for both in volatile situations.
The police are ill prepared to deal with a patient in a mental health crisis by themselves and they never should be sent on their own, at least if there is a mobile crisis team available. I remember that case of the autistic and deaf guy who was flailing on the ground in the middle of the street and the police shot him.
Don’t remember if he died or not. But hey, the autistic guy did not kill anybody on that day. So that’s a win.

You have never spent time in a mental health facility and it shows.

Right. One operates in rather exact scientifically predictable framework.
The other is mental healthcare.

But the article says:

He's proposing a Department of Community Safety to handle such crises with social workers, while NYPD manages violent situations.
Sounds kinda like he is exactly wanting what I said. Because he said it in response to this incident and is also advocating for someone that committed a crime to not be charged for it. Or that is a very poorly worded article.
Here is the issue. Someone have a "mental health crisis", like seeing a vehicle with a trump bumper sticker, or hearing someone utter a "triggering" word, may not be considered violent until someone shows up and then they immediately turn violent. Then you have a dead social worker.
And this is exactly what was proposed during the BLM riot response. Remember the defund the police movements? So why is this not a prevalent practice among all these defund cities? They just didn't do it right then? Get it right this time?

I seriously would like to know how much time you have spent inside mental health facilities as either staff or as a patient.

So what does the “mobile crisis team” do when the person advances on them with a weapon?
Run? Hide? Get killed?

More likely than not it will gut the NYPD via attrition at a faster rate than was already happening.

Hope fired the cop and apologized.

They have moved backwards since they crusades. It’s very embarrassing.
