So my picture upsets you?A few days ago a guy got stabbed in the eye, another guy died..You think a social worker can do anything against the Yahoos I deal with on a day to day basis?The last thing I want to see is a social worker getting hurt, they don't know how to defuse a situation unarmedThe most dangerous situation for police is domestic dispute, in such case they have to be a social worker. Enforcement of the law against violent individuals means that have to use force.It's going to happen. We are going to change the way we operate our police forces. We are behind other first world countries in this regard already.
It's not going to happen, our country is way to big
It's already starting.
Again, NPR did a story on this. I think it was in Georgia. The program of sending out social workers is having mixed results. I'll look for a link to the story.
I have no doubt that initially there will be mixed results. It will take time to find the proper levels and the way to do this.
I wonder why conservatives argue against having the police actually enforcing laws instead of being social workers which is what they are when they are breaking up a husband and wife arguing. I think it's just a reflexive hatred of anything that may actually work
They are not trained in social work.
You understand the discussion but would rather misrepresent it.
It's street smarts not education
Your family issues are yours.
No I live in the places you don't want to go.
Based upon your pic, that is probably correct.
Why...
