1000%. Another reason we need a Department of Peace. Our over-reliance on brute force both domestically and internationally is a throwback to mistaken notions from the 20th Century that could prove deadly (in some cases already do) in the 21st.

Trained, trauma-informed interventionists should respond to domestic violence situations. Unarmed mental health experts should respond to mental and behavioral health crises. Not armed police.

Psychiatric slavery should be outlawed. Read the book Psychiatric Slavery by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz.

You’re correct. However if you put others in harms way, or potential life threatening situation. There is NO time to do social council. Sometimes you’re the victim, sometimes you’re one less the victim.

The police just need to be trained to deal with it. During domestic violence situations the assault-er often as weapons and it's a dangerous situation in many cases. It's The reason why we would have law enforcement officers. Let's not make this more difficult than it is.✔✔
