This guy knows. It's very frustrating to see people repeatedly "stabilized" at hospitals through emergency mental health commitments, then released to follow up on their own medication/treatment plans. Eventually, they do end up as inmates in a system that isn't set up for treatment. When you throw a problem at the police, don't act surprised when they make arrests as their only viable solution, which it often is.
