How are the psychologists and social workers responding to calls working out?  The neighborhood watch?

All it’s going to take is one social worker to get killed responding to a domestic violence call and this will be over!

I was being facetious.  I highly doubt a social worker or psychologist is responding to calls anywhere in the US.

I understand, but there in lies the problem inherent with sending improperly trained and unarmed people into these potentially violent situations. The vast vast majority of these incidents are resolved peacefully by the police. You never hear of them for good reason. Many other incidents are never responded to at all. The 911 operator sorts out the urgency and the appropriateness. But as they say, it’ll only take one wrongfully diagnosed incident and one dead social worker to put this all to rest.

Oh, I know.  I made a semi-joke after hearing proposals to send social workers and psychologists to crime scenes that enrollment in these fields immediately plummeted.  It has no chance of ever happening.

Just more proof Biden was smart to say we need to increase police funding before the election.

What we actually need to do is the study the problem unemotionally and learn exactly what we’re dealing with here. You don’t either cut or increase funding until you know what you’re trying to fix or if there’s any fixing that even needs to be done at all.

Wow.  I bet they never thought of that.

I bet they didn’t. But that’s because it never was about defunding the police in the first place.

Why would they do something that makes that much sense or uses common sense was their guide they didn't do anything of the sort when they tried making health care affordable for every one or now paying every one pandemic money instead of just those that need it due to losing their jobs directly from the virus  lets just shoot from the hip we don't need no dam study .

Like I've been saying, don't commit crimes, and if you get stopped by the police, don't resist arrest.  Odds are high nothing bad will happen to you by the police.

I will present the flip side of this- what if the police are constantly present in your life? If you do not live in a liberal city it is hard to understand exactly how ever present they are, which means the best answer to overbearing cops is to move.

Would it be fair to say that cops are ever-present because more crime happens there?  Are overbearing cops a reason or justification for committing crimes and/or resisting arrest?  Would less presence decrease those things?

In order:

Almost always yes 

Never 

Probably not 

 

But my bigger point is that these areas with a huge police presence in America is almost exclusively liberal cities and the police force had to be actively created. I don't resent a liberal wanting a police officer on every corner but I also understand what the cop is there to do, and it is not be my friend.

This article is written from a man proud of his ignorance. Windermere is a small police force where they have zero cases of police brutality and a lot of rich athletes like Shaq, Ken Griffey Jr, Vince Carter, Tiger Woods use to live there, literally thousands of rich black people live in Windermere without issue. To compare a NYC cop to Windermere cop is like comparing a NYC democrat with a Texas republican, basically not anything like.
