All, and I mean 100's, of the panic devices I've had installed in Social Workers offices have been tied directly into the 911 system. All of the installations have been requested by the workers/directors. I wonder why they felt they were needed?

A Police Officer, Chaplain and social worker respond to a call. All of a sudden things start going wrong, now the P.O. has to worry about two more people getting hurt or injured. Please stop the nonsense. Better yet defund or do away with the Police for a couple of months and tell me how that goes. Remember we already lost a piece of Seattle and the mayor ang governor think it is just a love fest.

Well if some one is breaking into your home and the homeowner calls 911, the social worker can ask for the crook to get on the phone and they can discuss their feelings.

That has been proven to work about 0.0001 % of the time.

Perhaps while they are having this discussion the cops could arrive and arrest the felon.

How soon we forget the policewoman in Omaha, NE who was only serving a warrant and was killed. These mayors and city councilman have short memories.

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.)

It's become even more clear the last couple of months.. The word "progressive" really means "regressive", that which leads to anarchy. Elimination of property rights, the return of trophies for 8th place finishes, and elimination of promotion for "best qualified candidate". Be careful what you wish for .. Four years is a very long time .. Especially for us seniors.

Apparently this man has no idea what he is doing. Send in some unarmed social workers and watch what happens. More deaths and law suits.

That the mayor go on these calls for the first two weeks alone .

Like cooperate with the police? That's a novel idea.

To have a memory requires a brain and politicians deactivate theirs when they take office.

That would require courage and resolve, something quite lacking in politicians.

That sounds like a GREAT plan. Think about it, racial relations may improve greatly these pretty little women (not all) with their pocket book degrees will likely get raped. GOD SAVE AMERICA.

Do not understand people fighting someone who has a gun and presumably knows how to use it.

Sounds like the first part of the movie Demolition Man. May you have good good feelings.

No common sense is the rule for this knee jerk reaction for the idiots wanting to canonize George Floyd.

Your quote---nice philosophy.
