      It's not complicated. Cops are supposed to police crime, and secondarily, enforce order. But mostly crime. They should police everywhere, but moreso where people need them to protect against crime.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1273601388728193025 …

      One thing I keep coming back to when it comes to national discussions of police and policing is the basic question that we appear largely unable to answer: what are police *for*, and who should be policed?

      My point was that police should not also be social workers. Or mental health professionals.

      I agree with that in general - so does just about every cop - but when people call 911 on crazy people, the cops will always be who comes first.

          Why can't a cop and social worker bee partners who show up together?

          But that goes to my point — the police are being put in this position by our collective decisionmaking.

          The more we require specialization, the longer it’s going to take to get the right specialist to the scene. And that’s assuming a city is big enough to even have specialists available every shift.

          Firefighters are the usual first to arrive. So you could cross train them w other skills -- or just have social workers bunk in the firehouse.
