Thank you so much! I have persuasively dealt with this too many times to count! Police ARE NOT mental health providers! Is wildly inappropriate to turn our role into that. That would be akin to social workers responding to the two situations described in your article, and when fighting for their life later being blamed for not understanding interpersonal combativeness, and then criticized why they chose not to carry a legal commercially available taser… Or some ridiculous argument like that.

ON POINT as usual, my friend!
