Chelsea wasn't home that night. She wasn't even in the country. Also like Why would you send the cops to Chelsea Manning's apartment, ever???

The cops, by the way, could have taken one look at that photo and realized it wasn't her apartment.

I agree, but that being said, who should respond? Honest question, not trying to argue at all

The last place I lived my roommate's ex called the police to do a "wellness check", I told them not to come in, I'll check on them (1/2)
-
They came back with two squad cars and a K-9 unit. I had to explain he was fine and she was just causing trouble before they left us alone

what I think happened since she wasn’t home was that an ambulance was originally sent, they couldn’t get access, so the FD broke in w/ police assistance, guns drawn because people have fired back before. It’s definitely a weird system but I’ve seen it happen

Fuck the police in general but I feel like the conversation surrounding mentally ill people and the police is a bit more nuanced than this and it’s relation to our public hospital system is also pretty fucking bad because we treat mental illnesses as behavioral issues
-
From my experience they all show up with guns drawn as they’re unsure as to whether or not you’re armed but whether you live or die is usually dependent on how competent the police officer is as they seem to lack awareness about any illness that doesn’t involve psychosis
-
The police have stopped me from doing something stupid on more than one occasion only to dump me in some psych ward that is so dehumanizing that I left feeling as suicidal and dysphoric as when I initially got thrown in there
