Like not an idiot, but you're not very smart.

Let's unpack that shitty comeback.
9/11: 2,977 people were killed.

It is very difficult to compile data on this because police states tend to be opaque and the USA is very opaque with these statistics but n the first four months of 2021, 292 people died at the hand of the police. 2020: 1,021. 2019: 999.

Christ, you fell right into the typical democrat logic trap of manipulating statistics

"Killed by police", let's consider who falls into this category. 5 cartel members in texas get in a shootout with a swat team being sent to a business they are strong armed robbing. The 5 cartel members die in the shootout, they are part of that statistic

This happened recently - A woman gets pulled over for speeding. She pulls out a gun and shoots the officer in the arm. The officer shoots her and she dies. She is a part of that statistic

In fact the number of people in that statistic who were legally and justifiably killed due to self-defense is something like 99%. That's why when the washington post mentioned the UNJUSTIFIED police killings in a year, it's like 19. Not 1,000

But yeah, 1,000 is a big number I agree

Be careful to not be manipulated by statistics bro

My country is number six on the list of accepting immigrants.
We're a lot poorer than you, with a much smaller infrastructure and population density to absorb it. Plus we don't kick them out two years later so I think we do better but this is absolutely up for debate.

Eh, you do pretty good but we better. Don't be jelly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I merely linked one article about police shooting a 13 boy with autism 30 seconds after arriving on location and implying, "maybe sending a social worker would have been a better idea? and you didn't even bite because, let's be honest, we've discussed it a lot already, you're not that smart.

So, you want to send the police deal with mentally unstable people, be my guest and have the results we have even though you keep lying (because you have no fucking integrity) and pretend that you want the police shooting to drop to zero without changing anything about what is happening and that is some serious dumbfuckery. everything.

Like I said, I have no problem being sent in lieu of police to an escalated autistic child's home who is unarmed, as long as my agency is willing to restraint train me and accept the legal liability

What I DO have a problem with, is going out on a full grown adult who is psychotic due to drugs or mental illness and escalated to the point of potential physical violence. Social workers are not magic. There is not a magic phrase I can do that will guarantee that this person de-escalates and no one gets hurt. We come unarmed, and we have been attacked before. We have had clients try to kill us. A few years ago a client who was extremely intoxicated on alcohol got an attempted murder charge for trying to stab a social worker at our agency. That social worker quit the next week. Not going to happen to me pal. The person doing the de-escalating needs to be equipped to prevent their own death, and that doesn't always mean using words
