Haven’t read full article because of paywall, but I get a gist. A mate in a city I used to live, a mental health expert himself, mentioned that when mental health experts are first responders they have a tendency to shoot fewer people, and get shot at less often. Recently I’ve been advocating that police attendances should also require at least one public legal expert / mental health expert to attend. Police are trained to respond with escalating force. Fair enough, someone in society has to be delegated that responsibly. But it should be tempered by the attendance of those who are trained in public health, safety, and legal advocacy.
