Boo fucking Hoo. (not you, them) They don't do anything for the common problems, anyway. We need homicide detectives, yes. But for SO many other problems, we do just need Social Workers 2.0.

My brother, (who is doing so much better, now) had a mental health incident that we really could have used some help for. But the cops in that city had just blasted a 13 year old autistic kid in the back for running away, as a kid in crisis will do, like "NO! Don't touch me!". They shot him at least a dozen times. In the back. He lived, but...

ANYway, we could have used a hand, but no fucking way we were calling the cops.

"Ohh, next time call a crackhead, then.." Know what? A crackhead might (or might not, but same same) understand when someone is having a mental crisis. Fuck, I'm ranting. I'm just pissed. Sorry.
