Eric Garcetti Replaces Police with Therapists in New ‘Justice Budget’ for L.A.
Joel B. Pollak 20 Apr 2021
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti proposed a new program Monday to use therapy rather than policing to respond to some nonviolent emergencies, outlining the idea in his “State of the City†speech.
Unveiling what he called a “Justice Budget,†fueled by cash from President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion “COVID relief†bill, Garcetti proposed new spending on a variety of “progressive†programs, including on public safety.
Garcetti said that he opposed efforts to “abolish the police,†but he said that the “burden†of some police work should be handled by other programs: “We have lived for far too long in an America that outsourced the work of public safety only to a few, instead of embracing it as the work of us all. While much of that work is heroic, too often it is tragic as well.â€
One new program was one that Garcetti dubbed “Therapeutic Unarmed Response for Neighborhoods,†or TURN:
It’s a time to recognize wrongs and to set them right.
By giving up some power and admitting some errors, we can foster genuine safety from street to school to park to home.
When situations don’t need guns, let’s not send guns.
So this justice budget funds a new approach we’re calling TURN: Therapeutic Unarmed Response for Neighborhoods.
That includes a nation-leading partnership with L.A. County starting next month to send clinicians instead of cops to respond to non-violent mental health emergencies through 911, 24- 7. The goal: real results for Angelenos suffering from mental health challenges that too often go untreated.

Well, that's going to thin the social workers herd. It's a good time not to live in LA.

What exactly is their definition of 'non-violent', domestic abuse or mental health? Two of the most dangerous call police handle, maybe they will be fine with Garcetti sending in 'experts' instead of them. :pop41:

Who does this guy think he is Dr. Sam Beckett? Someone call Ziggy and Gooshie and have them check the Waiting room for Garcetti all this putting things right that once went wrong he must be hoping that his next leap will be the leap home

I want this jerk mayor to replace his police security detail with therapists before he forces them onto the general public.
Wonder how long that would last?
