Fla police dept ends police response to non-violent calls, social service worker will show up instead
July 10, 2020 | Frieda Powers

A police department in one Florida city is making major changes to how non-violent emergency calls will be handled.

The St. Petersburg Police Department announced that members of a newly-created “social service agency” will now be responding to calls dealing with issues like suicides, drug overdoses and mental health concerns.  Chief of Police Anthony Holloway and Democratic Mayor Rick Kriseman announced the changes in a news release on Thursday.

“Change is coming to St. Pete Police Department,” Holloway said during a Thursday press conference, explaining that the police department had had discussions with various faith and community groups, as well as protesters and union officials in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.

“After all those conversations, we had one common goal. That common goal is very simple: Our citizens are asking for change. The City of St. Petersburg and the police department is ready for that change,” he said.

The new program, which is scheduled to take effect on October 1, was made possible by reallocating funds that were initially meant to hire 25 new officers to the department. Instead, the police department “will lose $3,125,000 in federal grant funding awarded to pay for the new officers and $3,800,000 the City had earmarked in matching funds required by the grant,” according to the press release.

So instead of $7 million to add 25 officers to an infrastructure already in place, they now have only $3.8 million to create a brand new infrastructure.  And the non-suicide/overdose/mental health duties which would have compromised 97% of those 25 officers' work obligations will go unfilled.

Dog gone it. If we just let the common criminals make the laws (instead of those high toned ones), all this could be avoided. *****rollingeyes***** :silly:

In this case, stupid not only should, but likely will hurt.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So, how many weeks will it take for a social worker to get shot?

Let's not be too hasty to judge, here.   On the upside.... this will result in less "live" Democrat voters.  Always a good thing IMO!    :smokin:

Lol!  It wasn't always that way, alas.   I now have major (and growing) "anger issues".   So bad that I have no intention of even thinking about "working" on that character flaw.    :whistle:

A cop never knows that an incident is or will remain "non-violent," especially those involving mental health issues. This policy will result in deaths.  **nononono*

Especially when the good cops will quit or retire, leaving the dregs... who will probably just not answer any future 'at risk' calls.  So yeah... lots more deaths in these leftist cesspool areas.   Which is, coincidentally, exactly what they want... so they can then try to justify gun confiscation laws.
