So, we both want that number to zero or... just me?
Because sending police officers in situations where they are not qualified and trained is what a sensible citizen like you want.
it is not dangerous for the cops, nor for the public. (amirite?)
There are literally millions of people leaving and entering the country every year, a handful do so illegally, What we disagree on, is how serious of a threat to the public this issue is
.
There have been 7,194 days since 9/11. No other buildings were destroyed. (In America) Trillion dollars war of (or on?) terror. just now leaving Afghanistan and What we disagree on, is how serious of a threat to the public this issue is.
There is a lot of available books and toys.
Lately, there have been a fixation on mr. potato head and dr. seuss books and What we disagree on, is how serious of a threat to the public this issue is.
I'm sorry you make it easy.
See when they told you school was useless, they lied.
You very obviously could use a degree, especially a high school degree.
Could the issue be... *GASP* that since they send police to place where police aren't needed, they have to hire more police than needed and use these shitty practices to save time because how can you keep track of such a large force?
Why send a police officer to a house where the problem is a troubled person with autism? Wouldn't a social worker do a better job since, you know, they are trained for that and it is literally their job? Why do you insist on sending armed people to solve all the conflict?

I am a social worker and no, we are not allowed to go hands on with an escalated child. That is a huge liability risk for an agency. We used to be able to, having to be properly restraint trained first obviously. When is a kid, I actually helped in the restraint training. It was my first job in mental health, I think I was about 8 at the time. I volunteered to help social workers practice their restraints. I was told to try to wiggle out. I found the whole thing fun
Then when I started working in behavioral health, that practice went away. A lot of mental health agencies don't want to take on the legal liability of restraining a kid, involving all the things that can go wrong with that, including that child dying (which can happen without guns involved as well)
But yes, if you want to re-train us to be able to restrain kids, I would have very little issue with that. I think it would suck because it would mean being bruised up and bit sometimes, which is always going to suck no matter who you are. The reason I know is because we go into a lot of residential treatment facilities and behavioral schools where the staff ARE able to go hands on, and that kinda stuff happens
