Reply to comment by cedarapple in NJ takes over Paterson police after crisis worker's shooting by drkgodess

One who knows they're way less likely to get stabbed if the person isn't freaking the fuck out because 3 angry cops are pointing guns at them?

No unarmed social worker is gonna want to solo an armed person having a mental breakdown. They're gonna request armed officers as backup.

Got the numbers on that?

The numbers on people not wanting to die? Probs around 7 billion. The average person is not gonna confront someone with a weapon without any kind of safety assurance. This doesn't change just because they put social worker on their resume. They already get paid shit wages and Redditors are now speaking for them saying they should be thrown to the wolves.
