Yeah, when leftists talk about defunding the police, we mean that police departments shouldn’t be dealing with situations like that. We should quit wasting money on assault rifles, and instead pay state therapists to be on call for mental health emergencies. Police cannot be adequately trained and equipped for situations like this while also responding to murders and arson and such. The job description is too broad, one person can’t be good at all of those different things. We need to cut the APC budget and put more money into a mental health emergency service.
