Let's see them stop a bank robbery
Speaking of people who need social workersCould’ve been worse
Imagine his daughter?
Some of us recognize humour. Literally no one thinks that social workers will be sent to bank robberies.The best is the mod who liked that post.
I know what they are sending these social workers after. They also implanted a change in a city in the Bay Area that police will no longer be doing basic traffic stops, social workers will do those to decrease potential of racial profiling and escalating situations.
Now let’s see how long it takes before one of these routine situations goes bad. I lived in Sacramento when a routine traffic stop ended with a meth head on his way to commit a murder for hire blew the officers head off The second he asked for ID. Like someone already said, i hope there’s cameras so we can see how this goes.

Probably because you lack a sense of humor.Except that poster was being serious. And that was a funny joke to you? Maybe I missed the punchline.

So again, who is, or what are the criteria for deciding who is and who isn't violent/armed? What happens when that goes sideways? It's easy to say all that other stuff.
Well, no shit that's the intent.Its going to go sideways sometimes, as it already does now. This is an effort to prevent unnecessary escalation, unnecessary incarceration and unnecessary death; it is long overdue.
You do know that the 'land of the free' has only 5% of the worlds population, but houses 25% of the worlds inmates, right?
Done properly it could be. But I don't see it as an either/or approach.This is a good thing.
Without looking, I know who.The best is the mod who liked that post.
This, exactly. There's jobs like that over here too. Deescalation in places with disabled people etc.It's for some 911 calls, not all of them. Obviously, armed robberies won't be one of the types of calls in the category of a social worker dispatch, dumbass.
If it's a case where an autistic kid is threatening violence because he has separation anxiety (actual case from a few months ago where a child was shot by police), it makes plenty sense to send in a trained social worker before calling in the executioners.
Imagine calling the police for protection and they send a social worker......they should probably set up another hotline.
Like having a dedicated unit to that? They are police but they only or primarily take three the of calls? And are trained in them?Wouldn't it just be better to train police to be less shooty and more conversational?
Problem with the left is that their way of doing things is usually so badly things out tat it becomes worse. Good intentions are not a foundationMy wife's a social worker , you'd be suprised how good they are at talking people outta crisis instead of just having the cops escalate it . With that said, she still calls the cops daily at the day centre she works at lol it's unavoidable and while this idea sounds cute and progressive it'll be a disaster
