Coworker of mine had sniper’s set up on his front porch and screw tripods into his railing to hold the rifles when the neighbor’s kid had a mental health crisis and threatened suicide.
He was threatening to hang himself, and the parent offered police the keys to the front door after SWAT arrived.
They drove an MRAP through the garage doors, and still ended up using the keys anyway once inside the garage.
The insane amount of stupidity with toxic masculinity for all that to happen when all that has to be done is call the Suicide hotline or send out a therapist
Not everything is a “MAN PROBLEM”, this is a political issue, and a police state issue, and a capitalist hegemony issue. It’s just easier to dismiss everything as that one nail you think everything is because you took that one online class on hammers.
If you’ve got a few proverbial hours and an active interest in the subject, we could talk about the roots of patriarchy in modern day society and how they influence all of those things.
If you don’t, then I shall shrug and wish you a good day.
Yeah, when leftists talk about defunding the police, we mean that police departments shouldn’t be dealing with situations like that. We should quit wasting money on assault rifles, and instead pay state therapists to be on call for mental health emergencies. Police cannot be adequately trained and equipped for situations like this while also responding to murders and arson and such. The job description is too broad, one person can’t be good at all of those different things. We need to cut the APC budget and put more money into a mental health emergency service.

If you try to harm yourself we will kill you.
Always loved the logic.
