The Lets Get Rid Of Our Cops Movement

[fishtm2001]

OOPS! Who would have thunk it? Less cops and folk are behaving badly? Dramatic rise in shootings! Better hire more counselors.

As violence surges, some question Portland axing police unit

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Elmer Yarborough got a terrifying call from his sister: She wept as she told him two of his nephews may have been shot in broad daylight as they left a bar in Portland, Oregon.

On a positive note this should free up the donut market.

Sure is helping the funeral industry in some areas. Not too much interest from all those who were acting all outraged this summer? Wonder why?

Covid is causing innocent people to get killed in drive by shootings?

@MAKAVELI sees COVID-19 everywhere he goes, like that kid who saw dead people.

The sheer terror of it all has him curled up in the fetal position, awaiting his late term abortion.

Bottom line is no cops equals high crime.

Of course you know George Floyd actually died from the COVID, don't you...

Of course you know George Floyd actually died from the COVID, don't you...

THAT would be the irony of ironies, if his death was denoted as Covid related in order to bump the hospital's reimbursement.

In Mak's head ... YES!
Ideas rattle around in there until it resonates with him.

Seattle's problem with defunding the police: it hasn't replaced them with anything

A core plank of defunding the police is that it be replaced with health and medical specialists to respond to many 911 calls. That Seattle has only done the first part shows in places like Belltown, where low-level street crime...

Looks like defunding the police isn’t working it very well for Seattle.

Showing signs of success in Denver though.

A program that replaces police officers with health care workers on mental health and substance abuse calls in Denver, Colorado, is showing signs of success, according to a six-month progress report. Despite responding to hundreds of calls, the workers made no arrests, the report said — and the city's police chief told CBS News on Friday that he believes the program "saves lives."


Under the Support Team Assisted Response (STAR) program, health care workers are dispatched in lieu of police when responding to incidents involving issues with mental health, poverty, homelessness or substance abuse. STAR providers only respond to incidents in which there is no evidence of criminal activity, disturbance, weapons, threats, violence, injuries or "serious" medical needs.

During the first six months of the program, from June 1 to November 30, health professionals responded to 748 calls, including trespassing, welfare checks, narcotic incidents, and mental health episodes, according to the report. None of those cases required help from Denver police and no individuals were arrested.

Police and dispatchers have tons of data that show what types of calls result in arrest. A stranded motorist call doesn’t require an armed police officer response. There are many types of calls like that which are better responded to by public servants that aren’t armed.

Ever heard of AAA...

Ever heard of AAA...

Do you think that is the response a 911 dispatcher should provide when taking those calls?

Yes, obviously.
What kind of leftist stupidity is it to use taxpayer money on some idiot who can't change a tire.

Their program let's criminals go free.
That's not success, it's failure.

So trespassing and illegal narcotic use are somehow not crimes and don't require arrest. Leftist stupidity.

In Texas, civilians actually help the police.
