So the cops can spend more time saving junkies instead of investigating violent crime.....


Those victims probably deserve it, right?

It doesn't mean that, at any rate. Those funds can be and are better used at taking that workload off of police entirely. They shouldn't have to be social workers or emts. This is one of the circumstances which lead to shootings.

It's not as if the city plans to set fire to all of the cash they claw back from their underperforming law enforcement.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The fact is that the police are out there all the time. Fire and rescue are sortied when called. So the most likely first responder is a police officer. How do you take that workload off the police? Have them ignore "Child choking" calls?

...by taking that workload off of the police.......just kindof jumps right out, doesn't it? When you need an emt, there is no reason for an armed law enforcement officer to be there. Again, our leaning on them so much, in this way, contributes to the outcomes we're hoping to avoid.

We don't -have- to send cops to save a child who's choking on his popsicle, there are better people for that job, and cops have things to do which would be a better use of their time, their training, and our tax dollars.

Yup. The cop is almost always first on the scene.

If you expect civilians to call 911 and calmly report a situation and request a sortie from an appropriate response agency - you have never heard a panic ridden idiot blubbering over a shitty cellphone.

I have.

90 percent of them can't even give their location without fucking it up.

There is no substitute for a trained professional on scene.

Cops are not trained professionals in that respect. They are trained to be law enforcement officers. Not doctors or social workers. They're pretty shit at those things...even if they're good at the thing they actually do, professionally.

Just as you say, there is no substitute for trained professionals, but this is exactly what we're forcing on cops. Icing on top, seems like we're being taken to the cleaners for the privilege of fucking them and ourselves in this way.

I see, they should ignore the "child choking" calls. Many better things they could be doing. Doh

Or... maybe... they should cut into a patrolmans 400k a year salary and hire another emt? Or another social worker. Or both. Or both and another cop too.

This is a disingenuous argument. Yes, Sama, yes, there are better things that a trained law enforcement officer can be doing with their time than respond to medical emergencies or make wellchecks. If it prevents encounters that lead to shootings......what, exactly, is the problem?
