How did you get that from what I responded to Handcuffs? You can't take what I say out of context.
What I said was in response to what Handcuffs said.

Yeah, what you said was a very easy thing to do. Hey 911 dispatchers, here's another party you can contact. Oh, and they're at the hospitals, the same hospitals we already dispatch from

He was talking about more than just medical folks. Which is WHY I said, it would be a logistics nightmare. It would mean the revamping and retraining of the entire 911 institution.
Iirc 911 is a function of FEMA and NOT a function of the police depts.

/e Or maybe it is a function of police depts. and FEMA has control over both.

/ee About 10 years ago I had to change my address, as did all those with xxx- 3/4's addresses etc. The notice came from the US Post Office, and when I asked why...they said FEMA just passed a law requiring "normal" addresses, because the 911 folks were getting confused.

Point being, is I think what the protesters want is the restructuring of 911. The police are well trained as far as I can see. Or do we need the Chris Rock video again?

Why would it require restructuring 911? It would literally just be funding mental health at hospitals and training the police to know the signs and when to turn them over to medical authorities instead of putting them in jail.

I think the police already have their plates full. If you want better and more accurate response to multiple situations, it would be far easier to retrain 911 folks.


Once again, if you want to understand what Handcuffs meant, you should quote him. Again, my post was a response to his.

This would take things off their plates lol. Having somebody to turn these people over to instead of having to house them in jails for the night would make their lives easier.

I'd bet $50 that Handcuffs wouldn't disagree with what I'm saying. I'm responding to your terrible criticism, because the infrastructure literally already exists.

That's NOT the point. You don't KNOW what he was thinking (nor do I) that's why I responded to him.

Well, you'll be happy to know...

Democrats pledge transformative change with police reform bill

Just this paragraph, tells me that this bill won't pass. In fact it's a waste of paper and tax payer money.

why would anyone argue against this?

I don't really care what he was thinking, I was correcting YOU for saying stupid shit.

Well.. that's what you obviously think. LOL

I guess then that you are one of those people in favor of thought police? LMFAO
