South Brooklyn DSA @sbkDSARE#CodeBlue & calling 311 for homeless people out in the cold: you absolutely should not do that without the express consent of the person. The teams that respond work with NYPD. You are calling police, just ask first. Hypothermia can injure or kill people, so can police.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Understandable — I work on an all volunteer ambulance and we just want to transport people to safety

Absolutely, thank you for your work! This is for folks making the calls. You probably know better than I do how police interactions can escalate and cause more harm. I wish you could be deployed without police.

Of course! And yeah, most of our calls don’t involve police, but they certainly do sometimes. I’ve seen bad and good interactions for sure

Lord knows we could have a better system. I’ll advocate for that til the day I die.
