I don’t think weakening due process protections for people is going to fix the problem of lack of beds. It’s already not that hard to civilly commit people the problem is that they get discharged before they’re ready to be discharged or just turned away at the ER — cops bringing more people in to get turned away is not going to change much.

People who are voluntarily committed already get discharged early, what is this going to do to help?

This is just performative hostility to a despised population
