So then we are back to just sending a social worker, and they'd be dead in this situation? Because this all goes back to what we were discussing before, how do you know what is a violent situation and what isn't just based on the phone call?

This is where I think you're moving the goalposts. They are not "few and far between" they are the norm, by an humongous margin. Something like 95% of police responses involve non-violent precipitating incidents.

Again, it's not necessarily just a 'social worker'. It's maybe having someone like that be the primary point of contact on the response, not the sole one. The same as it's probably not appropriate for the police to be the sole responders on the huge majority of calls.

Is this organ harvesting? What da fuk?

It's always funny to me when I see the phrase "weapons of war".

That is the express, literal purpose of the 2nd Amendment.

Trump ad asks people to support the troops. But it uses a picture of Russian jets.

A top Trump administration health official appears to have deleted his Twitter account on Monday after he drew criticism for accusing career government scientists of plotting against President Trump and encouraged Trump supporters to arm themselves ahead of the November presidential election.

Top House Democrats have since launched an investigation into the comments, which Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo made during a Facebook Live.

The career scientists "haven’t gotten out of their sweatpants except for meetings at coffee shops” to plot “how they’re going to attack Donald Trump,” Caputo reportedly said. “There are scientists who work for this government who do not want America to get well, not until after Joe Biden is president.”

Did they take away guns from people when the assault weapon ban was in place?

Let's find a situation where it wouldn't work (as in Lancaster) and then **** on the concept in general.

I think Portland proved no one actually cares about the 2nd amendment. All these muh guns, muh 2nd amendment people were silent when the secret police showed up.

Damn that dude honestly looks like he is in his 70s. God bless him.

We’ve spent the entirety of the last 6 months upending every part of our daily lives to minimize the threat of a virus that kills 3 percent of the infected people and less than 1 percent of infected people under the age of 60. Is it really time to disregard negative outcomes in a relatively small number of instances?
