Who or What decides the success of this program? Are police sent as back up to protect a social worker? At what point are they allowed to intervene if at all? How many social workers lives have to be lost to consider this experiment a failure ? How many could be taken hostage themselves ? This all sounds like a recipe for disaster.

The real problem is that the people who push these radical ideas have no skin in the game. It’s ok to put another persons life at risk if it gets them re-elected.

It’s easy to talk the talk - try putting your own ass on the line, but that would never happen.
