This is de-escalation process. Why can't they let this be a STANDARD UNIT in the department?
Love this thats beautiful
Great job Detroit PD!
Great yeah seeya
Thumbs up on this one is 👍👍
Impressive.
I get where she is coming from, but night after night calls without having someone potentially armed to protect you would be pretty scary. You don't really know the true state they are in, and while 99% of the time they are probably harmless It's still possible that It won't be. As someone who worked in mental health I would like to have someone armed near me because everyone else is armed here anyway. Potentially they could try doing CCW to help blend in.
BUT I WANTED A BLUE MERCEDES 🤬🤬🤬😤😤😤😤😤
That’s what all this sounds like. Even when you get what you wanted it’s NEVER enough. How do you make progress with that attitude?
👏💯 I also like the fact that they followed up and checked in with the family.
I hope their fine example catches on in other cities around the country
🎉🎉♥️♥️VERY VERY GOOD 🎉🎉🎉♥️♥️🗽 Almost all events requiring the police are mentally created 🗽
If not the cops, then who? The people aren't going to even attempt to treat each other well. The churches and schools don't care.
Sadly every police officer should have this education to be out with people.
Let them do themselves in.
There is nothing mental about waging an endless war and killing with impunity. This government is mentally ill
This is the best thing for everyone. All police departments should adopt this.
Keep up the great work. We need to stop shooting anyone having a breakdown.
Oh you guys are all nuts. Don't even reconsider that one.
This us fantastic!!!
A step in the right decision. De-escalation for situations that don't need guns out.
How come the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, and Lions are so bad?
