@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social Here in Ottawa, if there is a 911 call over non-violent disturbances or mental health crises the call gets redirected to ANCHOR. They send unarmed, plain clothes social workers to the scene to resolve the issue. This is what "defund the police" looks like. Peaceful resolution without the escalation that naturally occurs when 'people of authority' show up.
