Don't call the cops on someone in a mental health crisis unless you want them dead.
Three former San Antonio police officers were acquitted on Monday of all charges related to the fatal shooting of a woman who appeared to be having a mental health crisis when they were dispatched to her apartment in 2023. nyti.ms/4qRnvvT

Yea whatever vision you have for policing eventually looks like, you can’t get there without first splitting up the police. Detectives should not be cops, cops should not be swat, cops should not be crisis response. cops get to be patrol and float as needed ie secure a crime scene, help crisis
The police should be broken up into like four forces each with different responsibilities and applicant pools.
My take as well: We need everything from "social worker who can dodge a punch" to "SWAT team" because sometimes someone's having a psychotic break in public and sometimes someone has a gun and hostages. The police being our one-size-fits-all solution is pretty stupid in that light.

Few people care about this, I know. It's just another way that Black people are USED to grow the prison industrial complex by claiming that we do mainly want more cops. No nuance ever. Just more cops.
Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.
He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for.

If you worship the cops, banish criticism of the cops from politics, give all the money to the cops, and operate on the assumption that the cops are what keeps society together, there’s nowhere to stand to oppose the fascist police state

When you put cops in schools, cops act like cops. Six reported instances of pepper spray or bodily force on students in Milwaukee last year — for things like smoking or not handing over an iPad. No accountability, no oversight — no transparency! milwaukeenns.org/2025/11/10/u...
6 incidents at MPS raise concerns that routine discipline is being treated as criminal activity
Half the incidents last school year began as school policy violations rather than criminal activity. All ended with force

I'm right.
Also, don't tell me that the state cops protect us from ICE when I was personally brutalized by ICE in the presence of a mob of state cops. Police do not protect protesters. That's simply not how they exist in relation to us.

You cannot make this stuff up. #ICE indiscriminately spraying pepper spray into cars while driving by should be immediate felony assault.
In this instance, tack on felony child endangerment + whatever else puts them away forever. They maced a 1-year-old baby FFS.
