I don’t want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.

    No, they’re asking to do one thing and using a slogan that sounds completely bat-shit insane.

        In East Grand Rapids, there is a single service for emergency responders who are trained as police / fire fighters, and paramedics so only one vehicle shows up. Consolidating them instead of defunding them actually improved things.

            Woah, slow down Hitler. No. Defund the police is not the same message as Reorganize Emergency Services. :p
