I think that some social workers will refuse to go into certain neighborhoods even if they were armed. And, how many female social workers are going to respond to a 911 call at night in a strange neighborhood. Who thinks this is a good idea?

Much of Albuquerque is very attractive and safe. It’s a big city, but pleasant.
You missed the part where they are not only going to replace gun-toting cops with unarmed social workers, but they are going to replace armed criminals and drug addicts and wife beaters and thieves and burglars with polite, law-abiding, peace-loving people who wouldn’t dream of defacing property. (I’m kidding, of course.)
