We need a 4th emergency service for people in crisis to just evac them from bad situations, almost like the witness protection.

I don't want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.

  • So the exact same thing that the "defund the police" movement has been asking for?

    • No, they're asking to do one thing and using a slogan that sounds completely bat-shit insane.

      • And you have directly proven your ignorance.

        The "one thing" they want is to take funding from police and make a new service, one that OP described. You do this by defunding the police as the funding for police in most cities is INSANE.

        So if you could stop lying about things you know nothing about, that'd be great.

        • In East Grand Rapids, there is a single service for emergency responders who are trained as police / fire fighters, and paramedics so only one vehicle shows up. Consolidating them instead of defunding them actually improved things.
