ALF Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 This town of 170,000 replaced some cops with medics and mental health workers. It's worked for over 30 years (CNN)Around 30 years ago, a town in Oregon retrofitted an old van, staffed it with young medics and mental health counselors and sent them out to respond to the kinds of 911 calls that wouldn't necessarily require police intervention. In the town of 172,000, they were the first responders for mental health crises, homelessness, substance abuse, threats of suicide -- the problems for which there are no easy fixes. The problems that, in the hands of police, have often turned violent. Today, the program, called CAHOOTS, has three vans, more than double the number of staffers and the attention of a country in crisis. CAHOOTS is already doing what police reform advocates say is necessary to fundamentally change the US criminal justice system -- pass off some responsibilities to unarmed civilians. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/05/us/cahoots-replace-police-mental-health-trnd/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 ....anybody know what planet this clown is from?........... Chicago erupts in July 4 gunfire -- with girl, 7, and boy, 14, among those killed "We are making progress ... but we have to do better," Mayor Lori Lightfoot says By Brie Stimson | Fox News A 7-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy were among those fatally shot Saturday night as Chicago erupted in gun violence on Independence Day. The evening included two attacks that each had eight victims, the Chicago Tribune reported. The girl, identified by her family as Natalie Wallace, was outside her grandmother’s home at a Fourth of July party in the city's Austin neighborhood around 7 p.m. when a vehicle pulled up and three men got out and started shooting indiscriminately, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. The girl was shot in her head and pronounced dead after she was rushed to a hospital, police said, according to Chicago's FOX 32. A 32-year-old man shot during the same attack was in fair condition, FOX 32 reported. “Tonight, a 7-year-old girl in Austin joined a list of teenagers and children whose hopes and dreams were ended by the barrel of a gun,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot wrote on Twitter. “We cannot grow numb to this. We are making progress in slowing shootings, but we have to do better, every single one of us.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-erupts-in-july-4-gunfire-with-girl-7-and-boy-14-among-those-killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that society is still somewhat primitive when it comes to issues of the mind but there will always be a need for law enforcement. There will always be someone who wants to test the will of others and the code of society. A jail cell should always be available for that person.

She's in way over her head. Murders and shootings are up over last year and trending to total about 700 (murders) for 2020. As a Dem she's basically powerless to do anything because more aggressive policing in the higher crime areas doesn't sell within the party. In Chicago and in Illinois, it's absolutely party first. https://heyjackass.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Tough times in Fun City, thanks to Mayor Wilhelm and Governor Adolph Cuomo, the Butcher of Nursing Homes. Coming to a city near you: https://www.foxnews.com/us/dozens-shot-least-8-killed-during-violent-fourth-july-weekend-nyc I think I saw that there were 89 shootings for the week.
