Would be cool if they were trained in de-escalation.
It's the whole point of the Defund The Police movement, as every time a cop showed up, they only amplified the violence and threat.
Someone off their meds, get the cops called, and now you have a dead person.
I always liked the idea that got thrown around during the Defund the Police movement that every cop should be partnered with a social worker skilled in psychology. Basically for every brawn is a brain situation.
Wouldn't be perfect(nothing ever is) but it would be a hell of a lot better than now. Though I suppose it's all moot now that America has gone full NAZI. Now the only things that will make a positive change for the people is physically removing them from this earth until the government fears the people again.
