Calling the police in a situation where someone is in emotional or mental distress doesn't work because that's not what they are trained to deal with. But who do you call? Mental health care and services in this country have declined in availability for decades. EMTs often end up responding in these situations but the best they can do is take the person to an ER where they may or may not be cared for appropriately. Now with COVID I feel pretty sure that even going the EMT/ER route isn't an option.
I'm your huckleberry.
