Because you send a mediator out first
Here's the thing ... ambulance and firefighters won't go into a potential conflict without police escort.
I'm pretty sure the skinny guy with a state college bachelors in interpersonal conflict resolution isn't going to last very long in that job.
They don't get it; you can't negotiate a resolution to a violent, or potentially violent, conflict from a position of weakness.
If the person you're telling to calm down knows you can't arrest him, or beat him down, he ain't going to listen to anything you say, he's going to at best ignore you, and maybe beat you to death for not minding your own business.
The people who are coming up with these ideas have no clue about how conflict is actually managed in the real world.
And they're going to get some people hurt, and probably killed.
I don't expect you to understand but here it goes...
Sending out a mediator doesn't empty the options box. The next people to show up will arrest someone. There is no "position of weakness".
I dont expect you to understand but here goes:
Nobody knows who, how many and what is behind the thousands of doors with the loud music.
So roll out the SWAT team for every call then...right?
No, you send friendly, reasonable, respectful guys who are clearly able to handle themselves and they manage the situation with a little communication.
Why are you trying to say that just because sending unarmed, unprepared, ill-equipped social workers and mediators into potentially violent situations is a bad idea, that means we should roll out SWAT teams and drone strikes and all this other extreme nonsense?
Why do you do this?
Do you think it makes your argument sound less stupid?
Because it doesn't, it just makes me think that you are not discussing this in good faith, and that you're ignorant as hell.
You should probably either grow up, or you should stay out of grown up conversations...… you're not up to it.
