Some of our policing problems in the US are related. You don’t need to be half as reactive if there’s few if any guns in public circulation. We had an involuntary patient get dropped off recently by the usual cups + a community mental health worker (who was wearing a kevlar vest btw). I told her I could never do what she does because I love my violent asshole babies but I could never care for them outside of my meticulously controlled violent asshole playpen and she was like “oh yeah I could never do this without him” (points at the cop). There’s a lot that needs to change about policing in the US but some of it isn’t changeable without addressing some of the underlying violence problems (like random guns everywhere with minimal safeguards against misuse).
