[QUOTE="nomoretickets, post: 16487111, member: 160855"] Actually this case is being referenced by BLM and police reform advocates as an example of why reform is needed. As for why there arent protests in the streets, might have something to do with the fact that the system took this incident seriously. Compare that with many other cases where its weeks or months before police even acknowledge something happened that warrants a second look. And yea, mental health professionals are trained to identify and handle people having manic episodes, non-verbal autism, dissociative states, etc. Its kinda their job. Its a whole different skillset from what police are trained on. Its apparent from the way you talk about it with all the "wipes the floor" language that you fundamentally do no understand mental healthcare. Its not a confrontation. With my family, the worst thing any male could do during a dissociative episode is grab her. Mental health professionals understand that and are trained on how to handle this. Cops are just gonna shout for her to comply and try to restrain her, which would only escalate the situation. There is a difference between law enforcement and mental health crisis. That mom called 911 because she was having an emergency and needed professional help. Unfortunately they sent cops, which is just the wrong tool for the job. Thats the whole point of police reform. Get cops back to just doing what they are actually good at and supposed to do, and create systems to get resources to people who need them but arent able to get them right now. [/QUOTE]
