Moreover, sending such people into the forefront of a mental health crisis is precisely wrong.
For domestics and mental health situations, they should be only in the background and 'available if needed'.
Too many people in crisis have been abused and even shot to death by police for no reason.
We know of famous, egregious cases like that of Sammy Yetim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Sammy_Yatim?useskin=vector video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJRNsj5GQWQ , but I've read of many, many others over the years that didn't get much press at all.
Police are exactly the wrong tool for the job!
And why didn't they simply use blue lights as a first move? No action or adrenaline rush in that, I suppose.
