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.

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