Yaaaay for Chicago

[Dies Irae]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ispatched-911-calls-Chicago-instead-cops.html
Chicago's new 'alternative response' programs will involve dispatching a team that includes a mental health professional and a paramedic to mental health-related calls, reported Chicago Sun-Times.

One program will involve sending a paramedic and a mental health clinician for 'behavioral health calls.'

A second program will involve sending a paramedic with a 'recovery specialist' for calls relating to substance abuse, the outlet reported.

Taking bets : how long will it take for the mayor to realize that this idea is insane?

Crime skyrocketed,police presence is getting weaker and now they will try to "talk" and "calm down" people actively commiting crime.

I have been waiting to see something like this be implemented to see the results.

Next exodus: Chicago paramedics?

program is being copied out of CA >>> even been part of TV cop programs already - on the show the mind bender saves the day and they all go get ice cream together

There's going to be a whole lot of dead paramedics and social workers in Chicago. MO SO231 is right. After the first couple deaths, the rest will decide that the job is not worth dying for.

i guess that is what happens after Lightfoot asked for Biden's help to curve the crime happening in her city. She didn't want to accept Trump's help when he offered. . .

I wonder what the hourly wage will be for either the Paramedic or the specially trained Behavior Health Technician. Or what the racial breakdown of hires will look like... What amount of money would YOU accept to try and "diffuse" one of these "misunderstandings" in neighborhoods actually deemed too dangerous by the U.S. Post Office to deliver mail in?
Yea, this is a winner...:crackhead:

Can already imagine

Operator:911 whats your emergency?

caller:He took too many drugs and now wants to kill me with a knife!

(Muffled screams in the background) "i will skin you alive and wear your skin like a raincoat!

Operator:sorry madam police is no longer dispatched to substance use situations.please wait on the line while i transfer your call to the right department.

New operator: good day madam. Paramedic and mental health proffesional are on the way. Did you tryed to calmly explain that you dont like being stabbed?

15 minutes later

Paramedic: dispatch? Yeah we need a coroner here. Lady and the psycho worker are dead,the man ran away and i need an ambulance.

I love watching Shitcago burn. How much money id IL get from Xiden's trillion dollar hand outs? CA's budget was a hot mess, until Xiden started cranking the presses, and now they have a $76 BILLION surplus. Thanks tax payers in other states that CA keeps saying they pay YOUR way.

Too slow rate of fire and the large bullets are wasted on human targets. Need smaller projectiles at higher rate of fire.
